King James Version
Romans • Chapter 2
1
Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are that judges; for in what you judge another, you condemn yourself, since you do the same things you judge.
2
We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who commit such things.
3
But consider this, O man who judges those doing such things and doing them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4
Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5
But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.
6
Who will repay each one according to his works.
7
For those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, there is eternal life.
8
But to those who are from selfish ambition and who are disobedient to the truth, but are persuaded by unrighteousness, there is anger and wrath.
9
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;
10
Glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
11
For there is no favoritism with God.
12
For as many as have sinned lawlessly will perish lawlessly; and as many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.
14
For when the nations that do not have the law by nature do the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law for themselves.
15
who demonstrate the work of the law written in their hearts, with their conscience bearing witness and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else defending them.
16
On the day when God will judge the secrets of men according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.
17
But if you, being a Jew, rely on the law and boast in God
18
And you know the will and you examine the different things being instructed from the law.
19
Having confidence that you are a guide to the blind, a light for those in darkness,
20
a teacher of the foolish, a teacher of infants, possessing the form of knowledge and of truth in the law—
21
So, do you not teach yourself while teaching another? He who proclaims do not steal, do you steal?
22
The one saying, "Do not commit adultery," do you commit adultery? The one abhorring idols, do you commit sacrilege?
23
Who, boasting in the law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the law?
24
For the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you, as it is written.
25
For circumcision is indeed profitable if you practice the law; but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26
If then the uncircumcision keeps the rights of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
27
And the uncircumcision by nature will judge the law, being a transgressor of the law through the letter and circumcision.
28
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
29
But the Jew who is inwardly, and circumcision of the heart in spirit, not in letter, whose praise is not from men but from God.
