Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Behold--"But if" is, beyond doubt, the true reading here. (It differs but in a single letter from the received reading, and the sense is the same).

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

He now inverts the order: for sins against God are the most glaring in an heathen, but not in a Jew. Thou that abhorrest idols - Which all the Jews did, from the time of the Babylonish captivity. Thou committest sacrilege - Doest what is worse, robbing Him "who is God over all" of the glory which is due to him.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

He specifies three particular sins that abound among the Jews:-- (1.) Stealing.
