1Therefore[G1352] thou art[G1488]inexcusable[G379], O[G5599]man[G444], whosoever[G3956] thou art[G1488] that judgest[G2919]: for[G1063]wherein[G1722] thou judgest[G2919]another[G2087], thou condemnest[G2632]thyself[G4572]; for[G1063] thou that judgest[G2919]doest[G4238] the same things[G846].
2But[G1161] we are sure[G1492]that[G3754] the judgment[G2917] of God[G2316]is[G2076]according[G2596] to truth[G225]against[G1909] them which commit[G4238] such things[G5108].
3And[G1161] thinkest thou[G3049]this[G5124], O[G5599]man[G444], that[G3754]judgest[G2919] them which do[G4238] such things[G5108], and[G2532]doest[G4160] the same[G846], that[G3754]thou[G4771] shalt escape[G1628] the judgment[G2917] of God?[G2316]
4Or[G2228] despisest thou[G2706] the riches[G4149] of his[G846]goodness[G5544]and[G2532]forbearance[G463]and[G2532]longsuffering[G3115]; not knowing[G50]that[G3754] the goodness[G5543] of God[G2316]leadeth[G71]thee[G4571]to[G1519]repentance?[G3341]
5But[G1161]after[G2596]thy[G4675]hardness[G4643]and[G2532]impenitent[G279]heart[G2588] treasurest up[G2343] unto thyself[G4572]wrath[G3709]against[G1722] the day[G2250] of wrath[G3709]and[G2532]revelation[G602] of the righteous judgment[G1341] of God[G2316];
6Who[G3739] will render[G591] to every man[G1538]according[G2596] to his[G846]deeds[G2041]:
7
To them who by[G3303] patient continuance[G5281] in well[G18]doing[G2041]seek[G2212] for glory[G1391]and[G2532]honour[G5092]and[G2532]immortality[G861], eternal[G166]life[G2222]:
8But[G1161] unto them that are contentious[G1537], and[G2532] do not obey[G544] the truth[G225], but[G1161]obey[G3303]unrighteousness[G93], indignation[G2372]and[G2532]wrath[G3709],
9Tribulation[G2347]and[G2532]anguish[G4730], upon[G1909]every[G3956]soul[G5590] of man[G444] that doeth[G2716]evil[G2556], of the Jew[G2453]first[G4412], and[G5037]also[G2532] of the Gentile[G1672];
10But[G1161]glory[G1391], honour[G5092], and[G2532]peace[G1515], to every man[G3956] that worketh[G2038]good[G18], to the Jew[G2453]first[G4412], and[G5037]also[G2532] to the Gentile[G1672]:
11For[G1063] there is[G2076]no[G3756] respect of persons[G4382]with[G3844]God[G2316].
12For[G1063]as[G3745] many as[G3745] have sinned[G264] without law[G460]shall[G622]also[G2532]perish[G622] without law[G3551]: and[G2532]as[G3745] many as[G3745] have sinned[G264]in[G1722] the law[G3551]shall[G622] be judged[G2919]by[G1223] the law[G3551];
13
(For[G1063]not[G3756] the hearers[G202] of the law[G3551] are just[G1342]before[G3844]God[G2316], but[G235] the doers[G4163] of the law[G3551] shall be justified[G1344].
14For[G1063]when[G3752] the Gentiles[G1484], which[G3588]have[G2192]not[G3361] the law[G3551], do[G4160] by nature[G5449] the things[G3588] contained in the law[G3551], these[G3778], having[G2192]not[G3361] the law[G3551], are[G1526] a law[G3551] unto themselves[G1438]:
15Which[G3748]shew[G1731] the work[G2041] of the law[G3551]written[G1123]in[G1722]their[G846]hearts[G2588], their[G846]conscience[G4893] also bearing witness[G4828], and[G2532]their[G846]thoughts[G3053] the mean while accusing[G2723]or[G2228]else[G2532]excusing[G626] one another[G3342];)
16In[G1722] the day[G2250]when[G3753]God[G2316] shall judge[G2919] the secrets[G2927] of men[G444]by[G1223]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]according[G2596] to my[G3450]gospel[G2098].
17Behold[G2396], thou[G4771] art called[G2028] a Jew[G2453], and[G2532]restest[G1879] in the law[G3551], and[G2532] makest thy boast[G2744]of[G1722]God[G2316],
18And[G2532]knowest[G1097] his will[G2307], and[G2532]approvest[G1381] the things that are more excellent[G1308], being instructed[G2727] out of[G1537] the law[G3551];
19And[G5037]art[G1511]confident[G3982] that thou thyself[G4572]art[G1511] a guide[G3595] of the blind[G5185], a light[G5457] of them which are in[G1722]darkness[G4655],
20
An instructor[G3810] of the foolish[G878], a teacher[G1320] of babes[G3516], which hast[G2192] the form[G3446] of knowledge[G1108]and[G2532] of the truth[G225]in[G1722] the law[G3551].
21Thou[G1321]therefore[G3767]which[G3588]teachest[G1321]another[G2087], teachest[G1321]thou[G1321]not[G3756]thyself?[G4572]thou[G1321] that preachest[G2784] a man should[G2813]not[G3361]steal[G2813], dost thou[G1321]steal?[G2813]
22
Thou that sayest[G3004] a man should[G3431]not[G3361] commit adultery[G3431], dost thou commit adultery?[G3431] thou that abhorrest[G948]idols[G1497], dost thou commit sacrilege?[G2416]
23Thou[G3739] that makest thy boast[G2744]of[G1722] the law[G3551], through[G1223]breaking[G3847] the law[G3551] dishonourest thou[G818]God?[G2316]
24For[G1063] the name[G3686] of God[G2316] is blasphemed[G987]among[G1722] the Gentiles[G1484]through[G1223]you[G5209], as[G2531] it is written[G1125].
25For[G1063]circumcision[G4061]verily[G3303]profiteth[G5623], if[G1437] thou keep[G4238] the law[G3551]: but[G1161]if[G1437] thou be[G5600] a breaker[G3848] of the law[G3551], thy[G4675]circumcision[G4061] is made[G1096]uncircumcision[G203].
26Therefore[G3767]if[G1437] the uncircumcision[G203]keep[G5442] the righteousness[G1345] of the law[G3551], shall[G3049]not[G3780]his[G846]uncircumcision[G203] be counted[G3049]for[G1519]circumcision?[G4061]
27And[G2532] shall not[G2919]uncircumcision[G203] which is by[G1537]nature[G5449], if it fulfil[G5055] the law[G3551], judge[G2919]thee[G4571], who by[G1223] the letter[G1121]and[G2532]circumcision[G4061] dost transgress[G3848] the law?[G3551]
28For[G1063] he is[G2076]not[G3756] a Jew[G2453], which is[G2076] one outwardly[G1722]; neither[G3761]is[G2076] that circumcision[G4061], which is[G2076]outward[G1722]in[G1722] the flesh[G4561]:
29But[G235] he is a Jew[G2453], which is one inwardly[G1722]; and[G2532]circumcision[G4061] is that of[G1537] the heart[G2588], in[G1722] the spirit[G4151], and[G2532]not[G3756]in[G1722] the letter[G1121]; whose[G3739]praise[G1868] is not[G3756]of[G1537]men[G444], but[G235]of[G1537]God[G2316].
