Romans 2

1 Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man — every one who is judging — for in that in which thou dost judge the other, thyself thou dost condemn, for the same things thou dost practise who art judging,

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.

2 and we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, upon those practising such things.

But we know that the iudgement of God is according to trueth, against them which comit such things.

3 And dost thou think this, O man, who art judging those who such things are practising, and art doing them, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

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?

4 or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise? — not knowing that the goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation!

Or despisest thou the riches of his bountifulnesse, and patience, and long sufferance, not knowing that the bountifulnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance?

5 but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

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,

6 who shall render to each according to his works;

Who wil reward euery man according to his woorkes:

7 to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility — life age-during; (aiōnios g166)

That is, to them which through patience in well doing, seeke glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, euerlasting life: (aiōnios g166)

8 and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness — indignation and wrath,

But vnto them that are contentious and disobey the trueth, and obey vnrighteousnesse, shalbe indignation and wrath.

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

Tribulation and anguish shalbe vpon the soule of euery man that doeth euill: of the Iewe first, and also of the Grecian.

10 and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is working the good, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

But to euery man that doeth good, shalbe glory, and honour, and peace: to the Iew first, and also to the Grecian.

11 For there is no acceptance of faces with God,

For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged,

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,

13 for not the hearers of the law [are] righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: —

(For the hearers of the Lawe are not righteous before God: but the doers of the Lawe shalbe iustified.

14 For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law — to themselves are a law;

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,

15 who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending,

Which shew the effect of the Lawe written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witnes, and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing, )

16 in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.

At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

17 Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God,

Beholde, thou art called a Iewe, and restest in the Lawe, and gloriest in God,

18 and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law,

And knowest his will, and triest the things that dissent from it, in that thou art instructed by the Lawe:

19 and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness,

And persuadest thy selfe that thou art a guide of the blinde, a light of them which are in darkenesse,

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

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.

21 Thou, then, who art teaching another, thyself dost thou not teach?

Thou therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? thou that preachest, A man should not steale, doest thou steale?

22 thou who art preaching not to steal, dost thou steal? thou who art saying not to commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou who art abhorring the idols, dost thou rob temples?

Thou that saist, A man should not commit adulterie, doest thou commit adulterie? thou that abhorrest idoles, committest thou sacrilege?

23 thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression of the law God dost thou dishonour?

Thou that gloriest in the Lawe, through breaking the Lawe, dishonourest thou God?

24 for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written.

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

25 For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

For circucision verely is profitable, if thou do the Lawe: but if thou be a transgressour of the Lawe, thy circumcision is made vncircumcision.

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

Therefore if the vncircumcision keepe the ordinances of the Lawe, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 and the uncircumcision, by nature, fulfilling the law, shall judge thee who, through letter and circumcision, [art] a transgressor of law.

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?

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

For hee is not a Iewe, which is one outwarde: neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

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.

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.
