Romans 2:23 in Context — Romans 2

21 tu, pois, que ensinas ao outro, não ensinas a ti mesmo? Tu que pregas que não se deve furtar, furtas?

22 Tu que dizes que não se deve adulterar, adulteras? Tu que odeias os ídolos, profanas templos?

23 Tu, que te orgulhas da Lei, pela transgressão da Lei desonras a Deus;

24 porque, como está escrito: “O nome de Deus é blasfemado entre os gentios por vossa causa”.

25 Pois a circuncisão tem proveito de fato se guardares a Lei; porém, se tu és transgressor da Lei, a tua circuncisão se torna incircuncisão.
