Romans 2:18 in context

The verses around it, from Romans 2.

14 Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

15 So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

16 on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.

17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;

18 if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,

20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

22 You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
