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 But we are sure that the judgment
of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
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?
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 unto 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 honour and
immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto 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, honour, 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, which have
not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having
not the law, are a law unto themselves:
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;)
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 which are in darkness,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a
teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the
law.
21 Thou therefore which 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 dishonourest 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 keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy
circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision
keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted
for circumcision?
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?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one
outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the
flesh:
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.
