Romans 2

1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art, that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest, doest the same things.

2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth, against them who commit such things.

3 And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them [thyself], that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who 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 long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

5 but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God,

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 who shall render to each according to his works:

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

7 to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

To them who by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory, and honor, and immortality; eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

8 But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation,

But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness; indignation and wrath:

9 tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

10 but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:

But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile;

11 for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 For as many as have sinned without law shall perish also without law; and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law,

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.

(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14 For when [those of the] nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these having not the law, are a law to themselves.

15 who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves; )

Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing testimony, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing, or else excusing one another)

16 in [the] day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.

In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

17 But if thou art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

18 and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,

19 and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who [are] in darkness,

And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness,

20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who hast the form of knowledge, and of the truth in the law:

21 thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?

Thou therefore who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

22 thou that sayest [man should] not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

23 thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?

Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?

24 For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, through you, as it is written.

25 For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep [the] law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keepest the law; but if thou art a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

26 If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,

Therefore, if the uncircumcision keepeth the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, [art] a law-transgressor?

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfilleth the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

28 For he is not a Jew who [is] one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;

For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 but he [is] a Jew [who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

But he [is] a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not from men, but from God.
