Romans 2:24

Read in context

Romans 2:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

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

23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26 If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
