Romans 2:20
| ← Romans 2:19 | Romans 2:20 (KJV) | Romans 2:21 → |
|---|---|---|
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
|
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
|
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
