Romans 2
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoeuer thou art that condemnest: for in that that thou condemnest another, thou condemnest thy selfe: for thou that condemnest, doest the same things.
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one judging. For in whatsoever thou art judging another, thou art condemning thyself; for thou judging art doing the same things.
2 But we know that the iudgement of God is according to trueth, against them which comit such things.
For we know that the judgment of God according to truth is against those doing such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O thou man, that condemnest them which doe such thinges, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God?
But do you consider this, O man, judging those doing such things, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his bountifulnesse, and patience, and long sufferance, not knowing that the bountifulnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Do you look with contempt upon the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance?
5 But thou, after thine hardnesse, and heart that canot repent, heapest vp as a treasure vnto thy selfe wrath against the day of wrath, and of the declaration of the iust iudgement of God,
But according to thy hardness and thy impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who wil reward euery man according to his woorkes:
who will give to each one according to his works:
7 That is, to them which through patience in well doing, seeke glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, euerlasting life: (aiōnios g166)
to those indeed who with patience of good work are seeking glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
8 But vnto them that are contentious and disobey the trueth, and obey vnrighteousnesse, shalbe indignation and wrath.
but to those who are of self-seeking, and disobedient to the truth, but obedient to unrighteousness, there are indignation and wrath.
9 Tribulation and anguish shalbe vpon the soule of euery man that doeth euill: of the Iewe first, and also of the Grecian.
Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that is working out evil, both the Jew first, and the Greek;
10 But to euery man that doeth good, shalbe glory, and honour, and peace: to the Iew first, and also to the Grecian.
but glory and honor and peace to every one doing good; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as haue sinned without the Lawe, shall perish also without the Lawe: and as many as haue sinned in the Lawe, shall be iudged by the Lawe,
For so many as sinned without law will also perish without law; and so many as sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For the hearers of the Lawe are not righteous before God: but the doers of the Lawe shalbe iustified.
for the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles which haue not the Lawe, doe by nature, the things conteined in the Lawe, they hauing not the Lawe, are a Lawe vnto themselues,
For when the Gentiles, not having the law, may by nature do the things of the law, they, not having the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the effect of the Lawe written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witnes, and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing, )
who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing, and their thoughts accusing or indeed excusing with one another,
16 At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through my gospel according to Jesus Christ.
17 Beholde, thou art called a Iewe, and restest in the Lawe, and gloriest in God,
But if you are denominated a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God,
18 And knowest his will, and triest the things that dissent from it, in that thou art instructed by the Lawe:
and know his will, and approve the things which are excellent, being taught by the law;
19 And persuadest thy selfe that thou art a guide of the blinde, a light of them which are in darkenesse,
and persuade yourself that you are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, an instructor of the ignorant,
20 An instructer of them which lacke discretion, a teacher of the vnlearned, which hast the forme of knowledge, and of the truth in ye Law.
a teacher of the juveniles, having a form of knowledge and truth in the law;
21 Thou therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? thou that preachest, A man should not steale, doest thou steale?
therefore do not you who teach another teach yourself? do you, who preach not to steal, steal?
22 Thou that saist, A man should not commit adulterie, doest thou commit adulterie? thou that abhorrest idoles, committest thou sacrilege?
do you, who say not to commit adultery, commit adultery? do you, who abominate idolatry, rob temples?
23 Thou that gloriest in the Lawe, through breaking the Lawe, dishonourest thou God?
do you, who boast in the law, through the transgression of the law dishonor God?
24 For ye Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
For the name of God is blasphemed by you among the Gentiles, as has been written.
25 For circucision verely is profitable, if thou do the Lawe: but if thou be a transgressour of the Lawe, thy circumcision is made vncircumcision.
For circumcision indeed profits, if you do the law: but if you be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the vncircumcision keepe the ordinances of the Lawe, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Then if uncircumcision may keep the righteousness of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature (if it keepe the Lawe) condemne thee which by the letter and circumcision art a transgressour of the Lawe?
and that which is uncircumcision by nature, perfecting the law, will judge you, who through the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.
28 For hee is not a Iewe, which is one outwarde: neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is outwardly in the flesh.
29 But he is a Iewe which is one within, and the circumcision is of the heart, in the spirite not in the 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, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
