12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God but the doers of the law shall be justified 14 For when the Gentiles which have not the law do by nature the things contained in the law these having not the law are a law unto themselves 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts their conscience also bearing witness and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another __ 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel
17 Behold thou art called a Jew and restest in the law and makest thy boast of God 18 And knowest his will and approvest the things that are more excellent being instructed out of the law 19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind a light of them which are in darkness 20 An instructor of the foolish a teacher of babes which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law 21 Thou therefore which teachest another teachest thou not thyself thou that preachest a man should not steal dost thou steal 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery dost thou commit adultery thou that abhorrest idols dost thou commit sacrilege 23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law through breaking the law dishonourest thou God 24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you as it is written
25 For circumcision verily profiteth if thou keep the law but if thou be a breaker of the law thy circumcision is made uncircumcision 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature if it fulfil the law judge thee who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law 28 For he is not a Jew which is one outwardly __ neither is that circumcision which is outward __ in the flesh 29 But he is a Jew which is one inwardly __ and circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit and not in the letter whose praise is not of men but of God
