21 You teach others, so why don’t you teach yourself? You tell them not to steal, but you yourself steal.
22 You say they must not commit adultery, but you yourself are guilty of that sin. You hate idols, but you steal them from their temples.
23 You are so proud that you have God’s law, but you bring shame to God by breaking his law.
24 As the Scriptures say, “People in other nations insult God because of you.”
25 If you follow the law, then your circumcision has meaning. But if you break the law, then it is as if you were never circumcised.
26 Those who are not Jews are not circumcised. But if they do what the law says, it is as if they were circumcised.
27 You have the written law and circumcision, but you break the law. So those who are not circumcised in their bodies, but still obey the law, will show that you are guilty.
