Of them [the Jews] the divinely-inspired Paul further remarked, They profess to know God, but in their actions they deny him, being loathsome, faithless and reprobate where every good work is concerned (v.16): they insist that they venerate the God of all, yet they brazenly do the opposite to what he wants. I mean, he confined the Law to a specified period, but they in that period did not carry out the Law, whereas after the expiry of the period they take up the cudgels of the Law.
