Romans


2:1
 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest 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 thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?


2:4
 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?


2:5
 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself 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 doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;


2:10
 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh 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 shew 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, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,


2:18
 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;


2:19
 And art confident that thou thyself art 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 hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.


2:21
 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?


2:22
 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?


2:23
 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?


2:24
 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.


2:25
 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy 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 fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost 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.
