Surrounding context
and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
