“And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;”
If you know his will and approve of what is excellent because you are instructed by the law. The Jewish teacher possesses knowledge (ginōskō) of God's will and ability to discern excellence (dokimazō ta diaferata). Instruction (katēcheō) in the law provides this capacity. Yet knowledge of the good is not equivalent to performing it, as the next verses will expose.
