Romans 2
1¶ Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for in that which thou dost judge another, thou dost condemn thyself; for thou that judgest others doest the same things.
2For we are sure that the judgment of God is according to the truth against those who do such things.
3And dost thou think this, O man, that judgest those who do such things and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, ignoring that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?
5But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasures up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
6who will render to everyone according to his deeds:
7to those who persevered in well doing, glory and honour and incorruption, to those who seek eternal life;
8but unto those that are contentious and do not obey the truth, but are persuaded by unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.
9Tribulation and anguish shall be upon every human soul that does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek;
10but glory, honour, and peace to everyone that works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law
13(for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;
14for when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature that which is of the law, these, not having the law, are a law unto themselves;
15which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, accusing and also excusing their reasonings one with another)
16in the day when God shall judge that which men have covered up, according to my gospel by Jesus, the Christ.
17¶ Behold, thou doth call thyself a Jew and art supported by the law and doth glory in God
18and dost know his will and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,
20an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of children, who hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21Thou, therefore, who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that dost abhor idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, with rebellion to the law doth thou dishonour God?
24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25For circumcision verily profits if thou keep the law, but if thou art a rebel to the law, thy circumcision is made into a foreskin.
26Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his foreskin be counted for circumcision?
27And that which is by nature foreskin, but keeps the law perfectly, shall judge thee who with the letter and with the circumcision art rebellious to the law.
28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is done outwardly in the flesh;
29but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Romans 2
2
1 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 For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things.
3 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 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 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 For he will render to each one according to his works:
7 To those who, in accord with patient good works, seek glory and honor and incorruption, certainly, he will render eternal life.
8 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 Tribulation and anguish are upon every soul of man that works evil: the Jew first, and also the Greek.
10 But glory and honor and peace are for all who do what is good: the Jew first, and also the Greek.
11 For there is no favoritism with God.
12 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 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 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 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 unto the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, through Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
17 But if you are called by name a Jew, and you rest upon the law, and you find glory in God,
18 and you have known his will, and you demonstrate the more useful things, having been instructed by the law:
19 you become confident within yourself that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 an instructor to the foolish, a teacher to children, because you have a type of knowledge and truth in the law.
21 As a result, you teach others, but you do not teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, but you yourself steal.
22 You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege.
23 You would glory in the law, but through a betrayal of the law you dishonor God.
24 (For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles, just as it was written.)
25 Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
26 And so, if the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this lack of circumcision be counted as circumcision?
27 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 For a Jew is not he who seems so outwardly. Neither is circumcision that which seems so outwardly, in the flesh.
29 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.
