Romans 2:24 in context

Romans 2:21–27

21

You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?

22

You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

23

You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?

24
Selected verse

For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.

25

For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26

If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

27

Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
