In the context of Romans, Paul is speaking to Jewish leaders who prided themselves on their knowledge of the Law. The role of a teacher in Jewish culture was highly esteemed, as seen in the respect given to rabbis. This phrase challenges the integrity and consistency of those who instruct others, emphasizing the importance of practicing what one preaches. <a href="/james/3.htm">James 3:1</a> warns that teachers will be judged more strictly, highlighting the responsibility that comes with teaching.do you not teach yourself? Here, Paul points out the hypocrisy of teaching others without applying the same lessons to oneself. This rhetorical question underscores the need for self-examination and personal application of the truths one teaches. The concept of self-teaching is rooted in the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, such as Proverbs, which emphasizes the importance of wisdom and understanding for oneself before imparting it to others. Jesus also addressed similar hypocrisy in <a href="/matthew/23-3.htm">Matthew 23:3</a>, where He criticized the Pharisees for not practicing what they preached.You who preach against stealing, Stealing is explicitly condemned in the Ten Commandments (<a href="/exodus/20-15.htm">Exodus 20:15</a>). In the Jewish context, the Law provided detailed instructions on property rights and restitution for theft (<a href="/exodus/22.htm">Exodus 22:1-4</a>). Preaching against stealing would have been a common moral teaching among Jewish leaders. This phrase highlights the expectation that those who speak against such sins should themselves be free from them. The act of preaching implies a public declaration, suggesting that these leaders were vocal about their moral stances.do you steal? This direct question exposes the potential hypocrisy of the audience. It challenges the reader to consider whether their actions align with their teachings. In a broader biblical context, this question reflects the human tendency towards sin and the need for repentance and transformation through Christ. The accusation of stealing could be literal or metaphorical, suggesting any form of taking what is not rightfully one's own, including glory, honor, or even spiritual truths.
