16 All these things will happen on the day when God will judge the secret thoughts of people’s hearts. The Good News that I preach says that God will judge everyone through Christ Jesus.
17 What about you? You call yourself a Jew. You trust in the law of Moses and brag that you are close to God.
18 You know what God wants you to do. And you know the things that are important because you have learned the law.
19 You think you are a guide for the blind and a light for those who are in darkness.
20 You think you can show foolish people what is right and teach those who know nothing. You have the law; so you think you know everything and have all truth.
21 You teach other people. So why don’t you teach yourself? You tell others not to steal. But you yourselves steal.
22 You say that others must not take part in adultery. But you yourselves are guilty of that sin. You hate idols. But you steal from temples.
