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

Wherefore, you are inexcusable, O man! whosoever you are, who condemn: for in condemning another, you pass sentence upon yourself; because you, who condemn, practice the same things.

2 οιδαμεν δε οτι το κριμα του θεου εστιν κατα αληθειαν επι τους τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντας

Besides, we know that the sentence of God is according to truth, upon them who commit such things.

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

And do you think this, O man, who condemn those who practice such things, and yet do the same, that you shall escape the sentence 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 forbearance and long-suffering; not acknowledging that the goodness of God invites you to a reformation?

5 κατα δε την σκληροτητα σου και αμετανοητον καρδιαν θησαυριζεις σεαυτω οργην εν ημερα οργης και αποκαλυψεως δικαιοκρισιας του θεου

But according to your obdurate and impenitent heart, you treasure up to yourself wrath, against a day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 ος αποδωσει εκαστω κατα τα εργα αυτου

who will render to every one according to his works:

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

eternal life, indeed, to them who, by perseverance in well-doing, seek glory, honor, and immortality: (aiōnios g166)

8 τοις δε εξ εριθειας και απειθουσιν μεν τη αληθεια πειθομενοις δε τη αδικια θυμος και οργη

but anger and wrath to them who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness.

9 θλιψις και στενοχωρια επι πασαν ψυχην ανθρωπου του κατεργαζομενου το κακον ιουδαιου τε πρωτον και ελληνος

Affliction and great distress shall come upon every soul of man who works evil; first of the Jews, and also of the Greek.

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

But glory, honor, and peace to every one who works good: first to the Jews, and also to the Greek.

11 ου γαρ εστιν προσωποληψια παρα τω θεω

For there is no respect of persons with God.

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

As many, therefore, as have sinned without law, shall also perish without law; and as many as have sinned under law, shall be condemned by law:

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

for not those who hear the law are just before God; but those who obey the law, shall be justified.

14 οταν γαρ εθνη τα μη νομον εχοντα φυσει τα του νομου ποιη ουτοι νομον μη εχοντες εαυτοις εισιν νομος

When, therefore, the Gentiles, who have not a law, do by nature the things of the law, are a law to 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

who show plainly the work of the law, written on their hearts; their conscience bearing witness, and also their reasonings between one another, when they accuse or excuse each other.

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

In the day when God will judge the hidden things of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

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

If, now, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God,

18 και γινωσκεις το θελημα και δοκιμαζεις τα διαφεροντα κατηχουμενος εκ του νομου

and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed by the law;

19 πεποιθας τε σεαυτον οδηγον ειναι τυφλων φως των εν σκοτει

and boast that you yourselves are a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness,

20 παιδευτην αφρονων διδασκαλον νηπιων εχοντα την μορφωσιν της γνωσεως και της αληθειας εν τω νομω

and instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the representation of knowledge and of truth in the law:

21 ο ουν διδασκων ετερον σεαυτον ου διδασκεις ο κηρυσσων μη κλεπτειν κλεπτεις

you, then, who teach another; do you not teach yourself? You who proclaim, Do not steal; do you steal?

22 ο λεγων μη μοιχευειν μοιχευεις ο βδελυσσομενος τα ειδωλα ιεροσυλεις

You who command, Do not commit adultery; do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols; do you rob temples?

23 ος εν νομω καυχασαι δια της παραβασεως του νομου τον θεον ατιμαζεις

You who boast in the law; by the breaking of the law, do you dishonor God?

24 το γαρ ονομα του θεου δι υμας βλασφημειται εν τοις εθνεσιν καθως γεγραπται

For it is written, "The name of God is evil spoken of among the Gentiles, through you."

25 περιτομη μεν γαρ ωφελει εαν νομον πρασσης εαν δε παραβατης νομου ης η περιτομη σου ακροβυστια γεγονεν

Now circumcision indeed profits, if you practice law; but if you be a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

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

And if the uncircumcision keep the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 και κρινει η εκ φυσεως ακροβυστια τον νομον τελουσα σε τον δια γραμματος και περιτομης παραβατην νομου

And will not the uncircumcision which by nature fulfills the law, condemn you, a transgressor of law, though in possession of the scriptures and circumcision?

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

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is outward 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 he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
