This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thou therefore that teachest another (ho oun didaskōn heteron). Paul suddenly breaks off (anacoluthon) the long sentence that began in Rom 2:17 and starts over again with a phrase that gathers it all up in small compass (teachest) and drives it home (therefore) on the Jew (thyself).
Not to steal (mē kleptein). Infinitive with mē in indirect command (indirect discourse) after kerussōn.
Dost thou steal? (klepteiṡ). The preaching (kerussōn) was fine, but the practice? A home-thrust.
Should not commit adultery (mē moicheuein). Infinitive in direct command again after legōn. “The Talmud charges the crime of adultery upon the three most illustrious Rabbins” (Vincent).
