Romans 2:21-24

21 therefore ^{▼▼ The structure of vv. 21–24 is difficult. Some take these verses as the apodosis of the conditional clauses (protases) in vv. 17–20; others see vv. 17–20 as an instance of anacoluthon (a broken off or incomplete construction).} you who teach someone else, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who tell others not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor ^{▼▼ Or “detest.”} idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law dishonor God by transgressing the law! 24 For just as it is written, “ the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you .” ^{▼▼ A quotation from Isa 52:5.}
