Romans 2:17 Douay-Rheims

But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

But if thou art called a Jew. In the common Greek copies, we read, behold, thou art a Jew, &c. St. 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 of Alexandria, Origen, St. Ambrose, Sedul., Theophylactus, &c. read it as in the Vulgate, ei su Ioudaios . (Calmet)
