Romiyim (Romans) 2
2
1Therefore, O man, you are without excuse, everyone who judges, for in which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you who judge practise the same wrongs.
2And we know that the judgment of Elohim is according to truth against those who practise such wrongs.
3And do you think, O man, you who judge those practising such wrongs, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of Elohim?
4Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and tolerance, and patience,#See 2Pe. 3:9 not knowing that the kindness of Elohim leads you to repentance?
5But according to your hardness and your unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of Elohim,
6who “shall render to each one according to his works”:# Psa. 62:12#See footnote at Mat. 16:27
7everlasting life to those who by persistence in good work seek for esteem, and respect, and incorruptibility;
8but wrath and displeasure to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness;
9affliction and distress on every human being working what is evil, of the Yehuḏi first, and also of the Greek;
10but esteem, respect, and peace to everyone working what is good, to the Yehuḏi first and also to the Greek.
11For there is no partiality with Elohim.
12For as many as sinned without Torah shall also perish without Torah, and as many as sinned in the Torah shall be judged by the Torah.
13For not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in the sight of Elohim, but the doers of the Torah#See Mat. 7:21-27; James 2:14-24 shall be declared right.
14For when nations, who do not have the Torah, by nature do what is in the Torah, although not having the Torah, they are a torah to themselves,
15who show the work of the Torah written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or even excusing,
16in the day when Elohim shall judge the secrets of men through יהושע Messiah, according to my Good News.
17See, you are called a Yehuḏi, and rest on the Torah, and make your boast in Elohim,
18and know the desire of Elohim, and approve what is superior, being instructed out of the Torah,
19and are trusting that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Torah.#See Psa. 147:19; Rom. 3:2; Rom. 9:4
21You, then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who proclaim that a man should not steal,# Exo. 20:15#See Deu. 5:18 do you steal?
22You who say, “Do not commit adultery,"# Exo. 20:14#See Deu. 5:19 do you commit adultery? You who abominate idols, do you rob temples?
23You who make your boast in the Torah, through the transgression of the Torah do you disrespect Elohim?
24For “The Name of Elohim is blasphemed among the nations because of you,”# Isa. 52:5 as it has been written.
25For circumcision indeed profits if you practise the Torah, but if you are a transgressor of the Torah, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26So, if an uncircumcised one watches over the righteousnesses of the Torah, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned as circumcision?
27And the uncircumcised by nature, who perfects the Torah, shall judge you who notwithstanding letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the Torah!
28For he is not a Yehuḏi who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
29But a Yehuḏi is he who is so inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart,#See 1Cor. 7:19; Exo. 19:5; Deu. 10:12-16; Deu. 30:6-8 in Spirit, not literally, whose praise is not from men but from Elohim.

Romans 2
2
1WHEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou dost the same things which thou judgest.
2For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things.
3And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and patience, and longsuffering? Knowest thou not, that the benignity of God leadeth thee to penance?
5But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou treasurest up to thyself wrath, against the day of wrath, and revelation of the just judgment of God.
6Who will render to every man according to his works.
7To them indeed, who according to patience in good work, seek glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life:
8But to them that are contentious, and who obey not the truth, but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation.
9Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.
10But glory, and honour, and peace to every one that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
12For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law.
13For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves:
15Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another,
16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
17But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18And knowest his will, and approvest the more profitable things, being instructed by the law,
19Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,
20An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.
21Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest not thyself: thou that preachest that men should not steal, stealest:
22Thou that sayest, men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege:
23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest God.
24(For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.)
25Circumcision profiteth indeed, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26If, then, the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27And shall not that which by nature is uncircumcision, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?
28For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly; nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh:
29But he is a Jew, that is one inwardly; and the circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
