if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,
2:20

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—
2:21

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

Waiting
A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.
2:29
Waiting
No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.
