Romans 2:18-21

Context
2:18 and know his will 1  and approve the superior things because you receive instruction from the law, 2  2:19 and if you are convinced 3  that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 2:20 an educator of the senseless, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the essential features of knowledge and of the truth – 2:21 therefore 4  you who teach someone else, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

1 tn Grk “the will.”

2 tn Grk “because of being instructed out of the law.”

3 tn This verb is parallel to the verbs in vv. 17-18a, so it shares the conditional meaning even though the word “if” is not repeated.

4 tn 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).
