Romans 2
1 Therefore, you are inexcusable, O man—everyone who is judging—for in that in which you judge the other, yourself you condemn, for the same things you practice who are judging,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲭⲛⲁ⳿ϣⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲁⲛ ⲱ ⳿ⲫⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϯϩⲁⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲕϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲁⲕϩⲓⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲕ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲕ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϯϩⲁⲡ.
2 and we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, on those practicing such things.

3 And do you think this, O man, who are judging those who such things are practicing, and are doing them, that you will escape the judgment of God?

4 Or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, do you despise, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to conversion?

5 But according to your hardness and impenitent heart, you treasure up wrath to yourself in [the] day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

25 For circumcision, indeed, profits, if you may practice law, but if you may be a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

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