Romans 2
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever
thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest
another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that
judgest doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is
according to truth against them which commit such
things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them
which do such things, and doest the same, that thou
shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and
forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the
goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart
treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of
wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of
God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his
deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing
seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal
life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not
obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation
and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man
that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the
Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that
worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the
Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also
perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the
law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before
God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do
by nature the things contained in the law, these,
having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their
hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and
their thoughts the mean while accusing or else
excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men
by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the
law, and makest thy boast of God,
18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things
that are more excellent, being instructed out of the
law;
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of
the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes,
which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in
the law.
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest
thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should
not steal, dost thou steal?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery,
dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols,
dost thou commit sacrilege?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through
breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the
Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep
the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy
circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the
righteousness of the law, shall not his
uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature,
if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter
and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly;
neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the
flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and
circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and
not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of
God.
