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.
