17Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God,
18and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law,
19and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness,
20an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21Thou, then, who art teaching another, thyself dost thou not teach?
22thou who art preaching not to steal, dost thou steal? thou who art saying not to commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou who art abhorring the idols, dost thou rob temples?
23thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression of the law God dost thou dishonour?
