Romans 2:20 in Context — Romans 2

18 qui connais sa volonté, qui apprécies la différence des choses, étant instruit par la loi;

19 toi qui te flattes d’être le conducteur des aveugles, la lumière de ceux qui sont dans les ténèbres,

20 le docteur des insensés, le maître des ignorants, parce que tu as dans la loi la règle de la science et de la vérité;

21 toi donc, qui enseignes les autres, tu ne t’enseignes pas toi-même! Toi qui prêches de ne pas dérober, tu dérobes!

22 Toi qui dis de ne pas commettre d’adultère, tu commets l’adultère! Toi qui as en abomination les idoles, tu commets des sacrilèges!
