16 (A)on that day when, (B)according to my gospel, God judges (C)the secrets of men (D)by Christ Jesus.

17 But if you call yourself a Jew and (E)rely on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; 19 and if you are sure that you yourself are (F)a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law (G)the embodiment of (H)knowledge and truth— 21 (I)you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you (J)rob temples? 23 You who (K)boast in the law (L)dishonor God by breaking the law. 24 For, (M)as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed (N)among the Gentiles because of you.”

25 For circumcision indeed is of value (O)if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if (P)a man who is uncircumcised keeps (Q)the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded[a] as circumcision?
