17 But if thou art named a Jew [Forsooth if thou art named a Jew], and restest in the law, and hast glory in God,

18 and hast known his will, and thou learned by the law approvest [provest] the more profitable things,

19 and trustest thyself to be a leader of blind men, the light of them that be in darknesses,

20 a teacher of unwise men, a master of young children, that hast the form of knowing [having the form of science, or knowing,] and of truth in the law;

21 what then teachest thou another, and teachest not thyself? Thou that preachest that me shall not steal, stealest? [therefore thou that teachest another, teachest not thyself? Thou that preachest to not steal, stealest?]

22 Thou that teachest that me shall not do lechery, doest lechery? Thou that loathest maumets, doest sacrilege?[a]

23 Thou that hast glory in the law, unhonourest God by breaking of the law? [Thou that gloriest in the law, by breaking of the law unworshippest, or despisest, God?]

24 For the name of God is blasphemed by you among heathen men, as [it] is written. [For the name of God by you is blasphemed among heathen men, as it is written.]
