"We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners'—" (NIV)
"We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;—" (ESV)
This verse seems to refer to the fact that "Jews by birth," unlike "Gentile sinners," have been taught from a very early age to obey God's commands. The Gentiles, however, grew up, supposedly, with no knowledge of the Law; so unwittingly, they grew up in their sins.
