Romans 2:20

Read in context

Romans 2:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,

20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

22 You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
