Romans 2:17-21
New International Version - UK
The Jews and the law

You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

Romans 2:17-21
American Standard Version
17 But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God, 18 and knowest [a]his will, and [b]approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19 and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness, 20 [c]a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth; 21 thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
