Chapter 2

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

Chapter 2

¹ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art, that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest, doest the same things.
² But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth, against them who commit such things.
³ And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
⁵ But after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
⁶ Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
⁷ To them who by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory, and honor, and immortality; eternal life:
⁸ But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness; indignation and wrath:
⁹ Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
¹⁰ But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile;
¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.
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,
¹³ (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
¹⁴ For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these having not the law, are a law to themselves.
¹⁵ Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing testimony, and their thoughts the mean while accusing, or else excusing one another)
¹⁶ In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
¹⁷ Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
¹⁸ And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,
¹⁹ And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness,
²⁰ An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who hast the form of knowledge, and of the truth in the law:
²¹ Thou therefore who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
²² Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
²³ Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?
²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, through you, as it is written.
²⁵ For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keepest the law; but if thou art a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
²⁶ Therefore, if the uncircumcision keepeth the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
²⁷ And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfilleth the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
²⁸ For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
²⁹ But 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 from men, but from God.

Chapter 2

¹ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
² But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.
³ And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them [thyself], that *thou* shalt escape the judgment of God?
⁴ or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?
⁵ but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God,
⁶ who shall render to each according to his works:
⁷ to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal.
⁸ But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation,
⁹ tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;
¹⁰ but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:
¹¹ for there is no acceptance of persons with God.
¹² For as many as have sinned without law shall perish also without law; and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law,
¹³ (for not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
¹⁴ For when [those of the] nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;
¹⁵ who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves;)
¹⁶ in [the] day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.
¹⁷ But if *thou* art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,
¹⁸ and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
¹⁹ and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who [are] in darkness,
²⁰ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:
²¹ thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?
²² thou that sayest [man should] not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
²³ thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?
²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.
²⁵ For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep [the] law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
²⁶ If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,
²⁷ and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, [art] a law-transgressor?
²⁸ For he is not a Jew who [is] one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;
²⁹ but he [is] a Jew [who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

Chapter 2

¹ Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judges another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things.
² And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.
³ And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
⁵ but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
⁶ who will render to every man according to his works:
⁷ to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:
⁸ but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [shall be] wrath and indignation,
⁹ tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;
¹⁰ but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:
¹¹ for there is no respect of persons with God.
¹² For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under 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:
¹⁴ (for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;
¹⁵ in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing [them]);
¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.
¹⁷ But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,
¹⁸ and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
¹⁹ and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,
²⁰ a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;
²¹ thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
²² thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?
²³ thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?
²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.
²⁵ For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
²⁶ If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?
²⁷ and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?
²⁸ For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:
²⁹ but 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 of men, but of God.

Chapter 2

¹ So you have no reason, whoever you are, for judging: for in judging another you are judging yourself, for you do the same things.
² And we are conscious that God is a true judge against those who do such things.
³ But you who are judging another for doing what you do yourself, are you hoping that God's decision will not take effect against you?
⁴ Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?
⁵ But by your hard and unchanged heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of the revelation of God's judging in righteousness;
⁶ Who will give to every man his right reward:
⁷ To those who go on with good works in the hope of glory and honour and salvation from death, he will give eternal life:
⁸ But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,
⁹ Trouble and sorrow on all whose works are evil, to the Jew first and then to the Greek;
¹⁰ But glory and honour and peace to all whose works are good, to the Jew first and then to the Greek:
¹¹ For one man is not different from another before God.
¹² All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law;
¹³ For it is not the hearers of the law who will be judged as having righteousness before God, but only the doers:
¹⁴ For when the Gentiles without the law have a natural desire to do the things in the law, they are a law to themselves;
¹⁵ Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;
¹⁶ In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.
¹⁷ But as for you who have the name of Jew, and are resting on the law, and take pride in God,
¹⁸ And have knowledge of his desires, and are a judge of the things which are different, having the learning of the law,
¹⁹ In the belief that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those in the dark,
²⁰ A teacher of the foolish, having in the law the form of knowledge and of what is true;
²¹ You who give teaching to others, do you give it to yourself? you who say that a man may not take what is not his, do you take what is not yours?
²² You who say that a man may not be untrue to his wife, are you true to yours? you who are a hater of images, do you do wrong to the house of God?
²³ You who take pride in the law, are you doing wrong to the honour of God by behaviour which is against the law?
²⁴ For the name of God is shamed among the Gentiles because of you, as it is said in the holy Writings.
²⁵ It is true that circumcision is of use if you keep the law, but if you go against the law it is as if you had it not.
²⁶ If those who have not circumcision keep the rules of the law, will it not be credited to them as circumcision?
²⁷ And they, by their keeping of the law without circumcision, will be judges of you, by whom the law is broken though you have the letter of the law and circumcision.
²⁸ The true Jew is not one who is only so publicly, and circumcision is not that which may be seen in the flesh:
²⁹ But he is a Jew who is a secret one, whose circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
