Romans 2
1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
διο αναπολογητος ει ω ανθρωπε πας ο κρινων εν ω γαρ κρινεις τον ετερον σεαυτον κατακρινεις τα γαρ αυτα πρασσεις ο κρινων
2 And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
οιδαμεν δε οτι το κριμα του θεου εστιν κατα αληθειαν επι τους τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντας
3 So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?
λογιζη δε τουτο ω ανθρωπε ο κρινων τους τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντας και ποιων αυτα οτι συ εκφευξη το κριμα του θεου
4 Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?
η του πλουτου της χρηστοτητος αυτου και της ανοχης και της μακροθυμιας καταφρονεις αγνοων οτι το χρηστον του θεου εις μετανοιαν σε αγει
5 But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
κατα δε την σκληροτητα σου και αμετανοητον καρδιαν θησαυριζεις σεαυτω οργην εν ημερα οργης και αποκαλυψεως δικαιοκρισιας του θεου
6 God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”
ος αποδωσει εκαστω κατα τα εργα αυτου
7 To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
τοις μεν καθ υπομονην εργου αγαθου δοξαν και τιμην και αφθαρσιαν ζητουσιν ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
τοις δε εξ εριθειας και απειθουσιν μεν τη αληθεια πειθομενοις δε τη αδικια θυμος και οργη
9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek;
θλιψις και στενοχωρια επι πασαν ψυχην ανθρωπου του κατεργαζομενου το κακον ιουδαιου τε πρωτον και ελληνος
10 but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek.
δοξα δε και τιμη και ειρηνη παντι τω εργαζομενω το αγαθον ιουδαιω τε πρωτον και ελληνι
11 For God does not show favoritism.
ου γαρ εστιν προσωποληψια παρα τω θεω
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.
οσοι γαρ ανομως ημαρτον ανομως και απολουνται και οσοι εν νομω ημαρτον δια νομου κριθησονται
13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.
ου γαρ οι ακροαται του νομου δικαιοι παρα τω θεω αλλ οι ποιηται του νομου δικαιωθησονται
14 Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.
οταν γαρ εθνη τα μη νομον εχοντα φυσει τα του νομου ποιη ουτοι νομον μη εχοντες εαυτοις εισιν νομος
15 So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them
οιτινες ενδεικνυνται το εργον του νομου γραπτον εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων συμμαρτυρουσης αυτων της συνειδησεως και μεταξυ αλληλων των λογισμων κατηγορουντων η και απολογουμενων
16 on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.
εν ημερα οτε κρινει ο θεος τα κρυπτα των ανθρωπων κατα το ευαγγελιον μου δια ιησου χριστου
17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;
ιδε συ ιουδαιος επονομαζη και επαναπαυη τω νομω και καυχασαι εν θεω
18 if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;
και γινωσκεις το θελημα και δοκιμαζεις τα διαφεροντα κατηχουμενος εκ του νομου
19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,
πεποιθας τε σεαυτον οδηγον ειναι τυφλων φως των εν σκοτει
20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—
παιδευτην αφρονων διδασκαλον νηπιων εχοντα την μορφωσιν της γνωσεως και της αληθειας εν τω νομω
21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
ο ουν διδασκων ετερον σεαυτον ου διδασκεις ο κηρυσσων μη κλεπτειν κλεπτεις
22 You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
ο λεγων μη μοιχευειν μοιχευεις ο βδελυσσομενος τα ειδωλα ιεροσυλεις
23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
ος εν νομω καυχασαι δια της παραβασεως του νομου τον θεον ατιμαζεις
24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
το γαρ ονομα του θεου δι υμας βλασφημειται εν τοις εθνεσιν καθως γεγραπται
25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
περιτομη μεν γαρ ωφελει εαν νομον πρασσης εαν δε παραβατης νομου ης η περιτομη σου ακροβυστια γεγονεν
26 If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
εαν ουν η ακροβυστια τα δικαιωματα του νομου φυλασση ουχι η ακροβυστια αυτου εις περιτομην λογισθησεται
27 The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
και κρινει η εκ φυσεως ακροβυστια τον νομον τελουσα σε τον δια γραμματος και περιτομης παραβατην νομου
28 A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.
ου γαρ ο εν τω φανερω ιουδαιος εστιν ουδε η εν τω φανερω εν σαρκι περιτομη
29 No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.
αλλ ο εν τω κρυπτω ιουδαιος και περιτομη καρδιας εν πνευματι ου γραμματι ου ο επαινος ουκ εξ ανθρωπων αλλ εκ του θεου
