While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you prob temples? 23You who qboast in the law rdishonor God by breaking the law. 24For, sas it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed tamong the Gentiles because of you.”
