You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

2 kintvetaad. rgaacaaribhyo ya. m da. n.dam ii"svaro ni"scinoti sa yathaartha iti vaya. m jaaniima. h|

And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

4 apara. m tava manasa. h parivarttana. m karttum i"svarasyaanugraho bhavati tanna buddhvaa tva. m ki. m tadiiyaanugrahak. samaacirasahi. s.nutvanidhi. m tucchiikaro. si?

Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

5 tathaa svaanta. hkara. nasya ka. thoratvaat khedaraahityaacce"svarasya nyaayyavicaaraprakaa"sanasya krodhasya ca dina. m yaavat ki. m svaartha. m kopa. m sa ncino. si?

But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

6 kintu sa ekaikamanujaaya tatkarmmaanusaare. na pratiphala. m daasyati;

God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”

7 vastutastu ye janaa dhairyya. m dh. rtvaa satkarmma kurvvanto mahimaa satkaaro. amaratva ncaitaani m. rgayante tebhyo. anantaayu rdaasyati| (aiōnios g166)

To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

8 apara. m ye janaa. h satyadharmmam ag. rhiitvaa vipariitadharmmam g. rhlanti taad. r"saa virodhijanaa. h kopa. m krodha nca bhok. syante|

But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.

9 aa yihuudino. anyade"sina. h paryyanta. m yaavanta. h kukarmmakaari. na. h praa. nina. h santi te sarvve du. hkha. m yaatanaa nca gami. syanti;

There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek;

10 kintu aa yihuudino bhinnade"siparyyantaa yaavanta. h satkarmmakaari. no lokaa. h santi taan prati mahimaa satkaara. h "saanti"sca bhavi. syanti|

but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek.

11 ii"svarasya vicaare pak. sapaato naasti|

For God does not show favoritism.

12 alabdhavyavasthaa"saastrai ryai. h paapaani k. rtaani vyavasthaa"saastraalabdhatvaanuruupaste. saa. m vinaa"so bhavi. syati; kintu labdhavyavasthaa"saastraa ye paapaanyakurvvan vyavasthaanusaaraadeva te. saa. m vicaaro bhavi. syati|

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

13 vyavasthaa"srotaara ii"svarasya samiipe ni. spaapaa bhavi. syantiiti nahi kintu vyavasthaacaari. na eva sapu. nyaa bhavi. syanti|

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.

14 yato. alabdhavyavasthaa"saastraa bhinnade"siiyalokaa yadi svabhaavato vyavasthaanuruupaan aacaaraan kurvvanti tarhyalabdha"saastraa. h santo. api te sve. saa. m vyavasthaa"saastramiva svayameva bhavanti|

Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

15 te. saa. m manasi saak. sisvaruupe sati te. saa. m vitarke. su ca kadaa taan do. si. na. h kadaa vaa nirdo. saan k. rtavatsu te svaantarlikhitasya vyavasthaa"saastrasya pramaa. na. m svayameva dadati|

So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

16 yasmin dine mayaa prakaa"sitasya susa. mvaadasyaanusaaraad ii"svaro yii"sukhrii. s.tena maanu. saa. naam anta. hkara. naanaa. m guu. dhaabhipraayaan dh. rtvaa vicaarayi. syati tasmin vicaaradine tat prakaa"si. syate|

on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.

17 pa"sya tva. m svaya. m yihuudiiti vikhyaato vyavasthopari vi"svaasa. m karo. si,

Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;

18 ii"svaramuddi"sya sva. m "slaaghase, tathaa vyavasthayaa "sik. sito bhuutvaa tasyaabhimata. m jaanaasi, sarvvaasaa. m kathaanaa. m saara. m vivi. mk. se,

if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

19 apara. m j naanasya satyataayaa"scaakarasvaruupa. m "saastra. m mama samiipe vidyata ato. andhalokaanaa. m maargadar"sayitaa

if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,

20 timirasthitalokaanaa. m madhye diiptisvaruupo. aj naanalokebhyo j naanadaataa "si"suunaa. m "sik. sayitaahameveti manyase|

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

21 paraan "sik. sayan svaya. m sva. m ki. m na "sik. sayasi? vastuta"scauryyani. sedhavyavasthaa. m pracaarayan tva. m ki. m svayameva corayasi?

you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

22 tathaa paradaaragamana. m prati. sedhan svaya. m ki. m paradaaraan gacchasi? tathaa tva. m svaya. m pratimaadve. sii san ki. m mandirasya dravyaa. ni harasi?

You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

23 yastva. m vyavasthaa. m "slaaghase sa tva. m ki. m vyavasthaam avamatya ne"svara. m sammanyase?

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

24 "saastre yathaa likhati "bhinnade"sinaa. m samiipe yu. smaaka. m do. saad ii"svarasya naamno nindaa bhavati|"

As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

25 yadi vyavasthaa. m paalayasi tarhi tava tvakchedakriyaa saphalaa bhavati; yati vyavasthaa. m la"nghase tarhi tava tvakchedo. atvakchedo bhavi. syati|

Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26 yato vyavasthaa"saastraadi. s.tadharmmakarmmaacaarii pumaan atvakchedii sannapi ki. m tvakchedinaa. m madhye na ga. nayi. syate?

If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

27 kintu labdha"saastra"schinnatvak ca tva. m yadi vyavasthaala"nghana. m karo. si tarhi vyavasthaapaalakaa. h svaabhaavikaacchinnatvaco lokaastvaa. m ki. m na duu. sayi. syanti?

The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

28 tasmaad yo baahye yihuudii sa yihuudii nahi tathaa"ngasya yastvakcheda. h sa tvakchedo nahi;

A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.

29 kintu yo jana aantariko yihuudii sa eva yihuudii apara nca kevalalikhitayaa vyavasthayaa na kintu maanasiko yastvakchedo yasya ca pra"sa. msaa manu. syebhyo na bhuutvaa ii"svaraad bhavati sa eva tvakcheda. h|

No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.
