ROMANS ยท Chapter 2
2:1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are that judge:
for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge
do the same things.
2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth
against them which commit such things.
2:3 And think you this, O man, that judge them which do such things,
and do the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?
2:4 Or despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;
not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
2:5 But after your hardness and refusing to repent heart treasure up
unto yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous
judgment of God;
2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory
and honour and immortality, eternal life:
2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil,
of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that works good, to
the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
2:12 For 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;
2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers
of the law shall be justified.
2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the
things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto
themselves:
2:15 Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their
conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing
or else excusing one another;)
2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel.
2:17 Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your
boast of God,
2:18 And know his will, and approve the things that are more excellent,
being instructed out of the law;
2:19 And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind,
a light of them which are in darkness,
2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which have the
form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
2:21 You therefore which teach another, teach you not yourself? you
that preach a man should not steal, do you steal?
2:22 You that says a man should not commit adultery, do you commit
adultery? you that abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?
2:23 You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law
dishonour you God?
2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you,
as it is written.
2:25 For circumcision verily profits, if you keep the law: but if you
be a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.
2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the
law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill
the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the
law?
2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision,
which is outward in the flesh:
2:29 But he is a Jew, which 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.
