Προς Ρωμαιους 2

1 διο αναπολογητοσ ει ω ανθρωπε πασ ο κρινων εν ω γαρ κρινεισ τον ετερον σεαυτον κατακρινεισ τα γαρ αυτα πρασσεισ ο κρινων

For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge.

2 οιδαμεν δε οτι το κριμα του θεου εστιν κατα αληθειαν επι τουσ τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντασ

For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things.

3 λογιζη δε τουτο ω ανθρωπε ο κρινων τουσ τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντασ και ποιων αυτα οτι συ εκφευξη το κριμα του θεου

But, O man, when you judge those who do such things as you yourself also do, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God?

4 η του πλουτου τησ χρηστοτητοσ αυτου και τησ ανοχησ και τησ μακροθυμιασ καταφρονεισ αγνοων οτι το χρηστον του θεου εισ μετανοιαν σε αγει

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and patience and forbearance? Do you not know that the kindness of God is calling you to repentance?

5 κατα δε την σκληροτητα σου και αμετανοητον καρδιαν θησαυριζεισ σεαυτω οργην εν ημερα οργησ και αποκαλυψεωσ και δικαιοκρισιασ του θεου

But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God.

6 οσ αποδωσει εκαστω κατα τα εργα αυτου

For he will render to each one according to his works:

7 τοισ μεν καθ υπομονην εργου αγαθου δοξαν και τιμην και αφθαρσιαν ζητουσιν ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)

To those who, in accord with patient good works, seek glory and honor and incorruption, certainly, he will render eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

8 τοισ δε εξ εριθειασ και απειθουσιν μεν τη αληθεια πειθομενοισ δε τη αδικια θυμοσ και οργη

But to those who are contentious and who do not acquiesce to the truth, but instead trust in iniquity, he will render wrath and indignation.

9 θλιψισ και στενοχωρια επι πασαν ψυχην ανθρωπου του κατεργαζομενου το κακον ιουδαιου τε πρωτον και ελληνοσ

Tribulation and anguish are upon every soul of man that works evil: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

10 δοξα δε και τιμη και ειρηνη παντι τω εργαζομενω το αγαθον ιουδαιω τε πρωτον και ελληνι

But glory and honor and peace are for all who do what is good: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

11 ου γαρ εστιν προσωποληψια παρα τω θεω

For there is no favoritism with God.

12 οσοι γαρ ανομωσ ημαρτον ανομωσ και απολουνται και οσοι εν νομω ημαρτον δια νομου κριθησονται

For whoever had sinned without the law, will perish without the law. And whoever had sinned in the law, will be judged by the law.

13 ου γαρ οι ακροαται του νομου δικαιοι παρα τω θεω αλλ οι ποιηται του νομου δικαιωθησονται

For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but rather it is the doers of the law who shall be justified.

14 οταν γαρ εθνη τα μη νομον εχοντα φυσει τα του νομου ποιη ουτοι νομον μη εχοντεσ εαυτοισ εισιν νομοσ

For when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature those things which are of the law, such persons, not having the law, are a law unto themselves.

15 οιτινεσ ενδεικνυνται το εργον του νομου γραπτον εν ταισ καρδιαισ αυτων συμμαρτυρουσησ αυτων τησ συνειδησεωσ και μεταξυ αλληλων των λογισμων κατηγορουντων η και απολογουμενων

For they reveal the work of the law written in their hearts, while their conscience renders testimony about them, and their thoughts within themselves also accuse or even defend them,

16 εν ημερα οτε κρινει ο θεοσ τα κρυπτα των ανθρωπων κατα το ευαγγελιον μου δια ιησου χριστου

unto the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, through Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

17 ιδε συ ιουδαιοσ επονομαζη και επαναπαυη τω νομω και καυχασαι εν θεω

But if you are called by name a Jew, and you rest upon the law, and you find glory in God,

18 και γινωσκεισ το θελημα και δοκιμαζεισ τα διαφεροντα κατηχουμενοσ εκ του νομου

and you have known his will, and you demonstrate the more useful things, having been instructed by the law:

19 πεποιθασ τε σεαυτον οδηγον ειναι τυφλων φωσ των εν σκοτει

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

20 παιδευτην αφρονων διδασκαλον νηπιων εχοντα την μορφωσιν τησ γνωσεωσ και τησ αληθειασ εν τω νομω

an instructor to the foolish, a teacher to children, because you have a type of knowledge and truth in the law.

21 ο ουν διδασκων ετερον σεαυτον ου διδασκεισ ο κηρυσσων μη κλεπτειν κλεπτεισ

As a result, you teach others, but you do not teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, but you yourself steal.

22 ο λεγων μη μοιχευειν μοιχευεισ ο βδελυσσομενοσ τα ειδωλα ιεροσυλεισ

You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege.

23 οσ εν νομω καυχασαι δια τησ παραβασεωσ του νομου τον θεον ατιμαζεισ

You would glory in the law, but through a betrayal of the law you dishonor God.

24 το γαρ ονομα του θεου δι υμασ βλασφημειται εν τοισ εθνεσιν καθωσ γεγραπται

(For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles, just as it was written.)

25 περιτομη μεν γαρ ωφελει εαν νομον πρασσησ εαν δε παραβατησ νομου ησ η περιτομη σου ακροβυστια γεγονεν

Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

26 εαν ουν η ακροβυστια τα δικαιωματα του νομου φυλασση ουχι η ακροβυστια αυτου εισ περιτομην λογισθησεται

And so, if the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this lack of circumcision be counted as circumcision?

27 και κρινει η εκ φυσεωσ ακροβυστια τον νομον τελουσα σε τον δια γραμματοσ και περιτομησ παραβατην νομου

And that which is by nature uncircumcised, if it fulfills the law, should it not judge you, who by the letter and by circumcision are a betrayer of the law?

28 ου γαρ ο εν τω φανερω ιουδαιοσ εστιν ουδε η εν τω φανερω εν σαρκι περιτομη

For a Jew is not he who seems so outwardly. Neither is circumcision that which seems so outwardly, in the flesh.

29 αλλ ο εν τω κρυπτω ιουδαιοσ και περιτομη καρδιασ εν πνευματι ου γραμματι ου ο επαινοσ ουκ εξ ανθρωπων αλλ εκ του θεου

But a Jew is he who is so inwardly. And circumcision of the heart is in the spirit, not in the letter. For its praise is not of men, but of God.
