Romans 2:22 in context

The verses around it, from Romans 2.

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?

23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26 If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
