21Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? thou that preachest a man should not steale, doest thou steale? 22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adulterie, doest thou commit adulterie? thou that abhorrest idols, doest thou commit sacriledge? 23Thou that makest thy boast of the Law, through breaking the Law dishonourest thou God? 24For the Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, through you, as it is written: 25For Circumcision verily profiteth if thou keepe the Law: but if thou be a breaker of the Law, thy Circumcision is made vncircumcision.
