21 You teach others, so why don’t you teach yourself? You tell others not to steal, but you steal.
22 You say that others must not take part in adultery, but you are guilty of that sin. You hate idols, but you steal from temples.
23 You brag about having God’s law, but you bring shame to God by breaking his law,
24 just as the Scriptures say: “Those who are not Jews speak against God’s name because of you.”
25 If you follow the law, your circumcision has meaning. But if you break the law, it is as if you were never circumcised.
26 People who are not Jews are not circumcised, but if they do what the law says, it is as if they were circumcised.
27 You Jews 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.
