17. See, you are called a Yehuḏite, and rest on the Torah, and make your boast in Elohim,
18. and know the desire of Elohim, and approve what is superior, being instructed out of the Torah,
19. and are trusting that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20. an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Torah.
21. You, then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who proclaim that a man should not steal, do you steal?
22. You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abominate idols, do you rob temples?
23. You who make your boast in the Torah, through the transgression of the Torah do you disrespect Elohim?
24. For “The Name of Elohim is blasphemed among the gentiles because of you,” as it has been written.
25. For circumcision indeed profits if you practise the Torah, but if you are a transgressor of the Torah, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
