Romans 2

1 Therefore inexcusable you are, O man everyone you who [are] judging; In that which for you judge the other, yourself you are condemning; for the same things you do who are judging.

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

2 We know however that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those such things practicing;

We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

3 Suppose you now this, O man you who [are] judging those such things practicing and doing them [yourself], that you yourself will escape the judgment of God?

Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

4 Or the riches of the kindness of Him and the forbearance and the patience despise you not knowing that the kindness of God to repentance you leads?

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

5 Because of however the hardness of you and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up to yourself wrath in [the] day of wrath and revelation (and *O*) of justice of God,

But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,

6 who will give to each according to the works of him,

who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”

7 to those who indeed with endurance in work good glory and honor and immortality are seeking life eternal; (aiōnios g166)

to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios g166)

8 to those however of self-interest and disobeying (indeed *k*) the truth, being persuaded about however unrighteousness, wrath and anger

but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,

9 tribulation and distress upon every soul of man which is working the evil, of Jew both first and also of Greek;

oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

10 glory however and honor and peace to everyone who is doing good, to Jew both first and to Greek;

But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

11 Not for there is partiality with God.

For there is no partiality with God.

12 As many as for without [the] Law have sinned, without [the] Law also will perish; and as many as in [the] Law have sinned, through [the] Law will be judged;

For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

13 not for the hearers (*k*) of [the] law [are] righteous with God, but the doers (*k*) of [the] law will be justified.

For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

14 When for Gentiles not the law having by nature the [things] of the law (they may do, *N(k)O*) these [the] Law not having to themselves are a law,

(for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,

15 who show the work of the law written in the hearts when they are bearing witness to them their conscience and between one another the thoughts accusing or also presenting a defense

in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)

16 on day (when *NK(o)*) (judges *N(k)O*) God the secrets of men according to the gospel of mine through Christ Jesus.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

17 (If *N(K)O*) (however *no*) you yourself a Jew are called and you rely on (the *k*) law and you boast in God

Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,

18 and know the will and approve the [things] being superior being instructed out of the law;

know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

19 you are confident then [that] you yourself a guide being of [the] blind, a light to those in darkness,

and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20 an instructor of [the] foolish, a teacher of infants, having the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth in the law;

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.

21 You who [are] then teaching another yourself not do you teach? You who [are] preaching not to steal do you steal?

You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?

22 You who [are] saying not to commit adultery do you commit adultery? You who [are] abhorring idols do you rob temples?

You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

23 You who in law boast, through the transgression of the law God dishonor you?

You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?

24 For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles even as it has been written.

For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.

25 Circumcision indeed for profits if [the] law you shall do; if however a transgressor of law you shall be, the circumcision of you uncircumcision has become.

For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26 If therefore the uncircumcision the requirements of the law shall keep, (surely *N(k)O*) the uncircumcision of him for circumcision will be reckoned?

If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

27 And will judge the by nature uncircumcision the law fulfilling you who with [the] letter and circumcision [are] a transgressor of law.

Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

28 Not for the [one] on the outward a Jew is, neither the [one] outwardly the outward in flesh [is] circumcision,

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

29 but he who [is] on the inward a Jew [is one], and circumcision [is] of heart in spirit not in letter, of whom the 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 from men, but from God.
