“And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,”
If you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark. The Jewish teacher, confident in his knowledge, sees himself as a guide (hodēgos) and light (phōs) to those in darkness (skotos). This recalls Isaiah's vision of Israel's role as a light to the nations, yet Paul will invert this: the guide may himself be blind to his own need for righteousness.
