Romans 2

1 There is therefore no excuse for thee, O man, that judgest thy neighbor; for by judging thy neighbor, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest, dost practise the same things.

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.

2 And we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth, in regard to those who practise these things.

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

3 And what thinkest thou, O man, that judgest those who practise these things, while practising them thyself, that thou wilt escape the judgment of God?

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?

4 Or wilt thou abuse the riches of his benevolence, and his long suffering, and the opportunity which he giveth thee? And dost thou not know, that the benevolence of God should bring thee to repentance?

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?

5 But, because of the hardness of thy unrepenting heart, thou art treasuring up a store of wrath against the day of wrath, and against the revelation of the righteous judgment of God:

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,

6 who will recompense to every man, according to his deeds;

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

7 to them who, by perseverance in good works, seek for glory and honor and immortality, to them he will give life eternal; (aiōnios g166)

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

8 but to them who are obstinate and obey not the truth, but obey iniquity, to them he will retribute wrath and ire.

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

9 And tribulation and anguish will be to every man that doeth evil; to the Jews first, and also to the Gentiles:

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

10 but glory and honor and peace to every one that doeth good; to the Jews first, and also to the Gentiles.

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

11 For there is no respect of persons with God:

Not for there is partiality with God.

12 for those without law, who sin, will also perish without law; and those under the law, who sin, will be judged by the law,

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;

13 (for not the hearers of the law, are righteous before God; but the doers of the law are justified;

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

14 for if Gentiles who have not the law, shall, by their nature, do the things of the law; they, while without the law, become a law to themselves:

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,

15 and they show the work of the law, as it is inscribed on their heart; and their conscience beareth testimony to them, their own reflections rebuking or vindicating one another, )

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

16 in the day in which God will judge the secret actions of men, as my gospel teacheth, by Jesus the Messiah.

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

17 But if thou, who art called a Jew, and reposest thyself on the law, and gloriest in God,

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

18 that thou knowest his good pleasure, and discernest obligations, because thou art instructed in the law;

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

19 and hast confidence in thyself, that thou art a guide to the blind, and a light to them who are in darkness,

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

20 and an instructor of those lacking knowledge, and a preceptor to the young; and thou hast the appearance of knowledge and of verity in the law:

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

21 Thou therefore, who teachest others, teachest thou not thyself? And thou who teachest that men must not steal, dost thou steal?

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

22 And thou who sayest, Men must not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? And thou who contemnest idols, dost thou plunder the sanctuary?

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

23 And thou who gloriest in the law, dost thou, by acting contrary to the law, insult God himself?

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

24 For, the name of God, as it is written, is reviled among the Gentiles on your account.

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

25 For circumcision profiteth, indeed, if thou fulfillest the law: but if thou departest from the law, thy circumcision becometh uncircumcision.

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.

26 And if uncircumcision should keep the precepts of the law, would not that uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

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

27 And the uncircumcision, which from its nature fulfilleth the law, will judge thee; who, with the scripture, and with circumcision, transgressest against the law.

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

28 For he is not a Jew, who is so in what is external: nor is that circumcision, which is visible in the flesh.

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

29 But he is a Jew, who is so in what is hidden: and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not from men, but from God.

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.
