In Rom. 2:17-24, Paul addresses the hypocrisy among _________.
Jews
In Romans 2:17-24, Paul addresses the hypocrisy among the Jews or the Jewish religious leaders. Paul addresses the Jewish leaders who believed themselves to be the teachers of the Gentiles, but were not applying the same teachings to themselves. They were teaching the law but were guilty of breaking it themselves. The Jews prided themselves on being God’s chosen people and believed that their circumcision made them superior to the Gentiles, but Paul is pointing out that true circumcision is of the heart and is demonstrated by obedience to the law, not just a physical act. Paul reminds them that they will be judged by God according to their deeds, and not just their outward appearance.
