Romans 2:19

Pride

17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;

18 if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,

20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
