Romans 2
2
1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practise the same things. 2We know that the judgement of God is according to truth against those who practise such things. 3Do you think this, O man who judges those who practise such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgement of God? 4Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgement of God, 6who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”#Psalms 62:12; Proverbs 24:12 7to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honour, and incorruptibility, eternal life; 8but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation, 9oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 But glory, honour, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God. 12For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified 14(for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts amongst themselves accusing or else excusing them) 16in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Yeshua the Messiah.
17 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God, 18know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth. 21You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who proclaim that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal? 22You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23You who glory in the law, do you dishonour God by disobeying the law? 24For “the name of God is blasphemed amongst the Gentiles because of you,” #Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22 just as it is written. 25For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision? 27Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfil the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law? 28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; 29but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

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.
