In Romans 2:17-3:8, Paul specifically addresses self-righteous Jews who stood in judgment on uncircumcised Gentiles. 

The Jews were self-confident in their knowledge of the Law, but actually didn’t practice what they preached. The Jews were self-confident in their circumcision, but what they really needed was an inward spiritual change through the new birth.

Before we can receive this good news of salvation, we have to be laid bare in our sin before a holy God and understand that He has the right to pour out His wrath on sinners in judgment—whether that’s a pagan Gentile, a self-righteous circumcised Jew who thinks he can obey the Ten Commandments, and... you and me.
