    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?

    24for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written.

    25For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

    26If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be reckoned?

    28For he is not a Jew who is `so' outwardly, neither `is' circumcision that which is outward in flesh;
