Romans 2:17

Verse 17. But if thou art called a Jew. In the common Greek copies, we read, behold, thou art a Jew, and so forth Saint Paul here turns his discourse particularly to the Jews, who valued themselves so much upon their law, their temple, and their ceremonies; and therefore are said to rest on the law, as if it were enough to be by profession a Jew. Witham.—But many manuscripts, Clement Alexand. Origen, Ambrose, Sedul. Theophyl. and so forth read it as in the Vulgate, ει συ Ιουδαιος. Calmet.
