2 Therefore, you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judges! For in whatever you judge another, you judge yourself. For you who judge do the same things.
2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against those who commit such things.
3 And do you think, O man - who judges those who do such things and yet does the same - that you shall escape the judgment of God?
4 Or do you think so little of the riches of His bountifulness and patience and long suffering, not knowing that the bountifulness of God leads you to repentance?
5 But you, because of your hardness and unrepentant heart, are laying up a treasure of wrath for yourself on the Day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God,
6 Who will reward everyone according to his works.
7 Indeed those who, through patience in well-doing, seek glory and honor and immortality (everlasting life).
8 But to those who are contentious, and disobey the truth, and obey unrighteousness, shall be indignation and wrath.
9 Tribulation and anguish shall be upon the soul of every man who does evil –the Jew first, and also the Greek.
10 But glory and honor and peace shall be to everyone who does good - to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 For there is no partiality with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without the Law, shall also perish without the Law. And as many as have sinned in the Law, shall be judged by the Law,
13 (For the hearers of the Law are not righteous before God. But the doers of the Law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, who do not have the Law, instinctively do the things contained in the Law, then they - not having the Law - are a Law unto themselves,
15 who show the effect of the Law written on their hearts; their conscience also bearing witness and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing)
16 on the day when God shall judge the secrets of man by Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
17 Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and glory in God.
18 And you know His will, and test the things which dissent from it, being instructed by the Law.
19 And you persuade yourself that you are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 an instructor of those who lack discretion; a teacher of the unlearned, who has the semblance of knowledge and truth in the Law.
21 You therefore, who teaches another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
22 You who say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?
23 You who glory in the Law, through breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?
24 For “the Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you”, as it is written.
25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the Law. But if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore, if the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
27 And shall not the naturally uncircumcised (if he keeps the Law) condemn those who, being under the letter and circumcision, are transgressors of the Law?
28 For no one is a Jew outwardly. Nor is circumcision outward, in the flesh.
29 But he is a Jew who is one within. And circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit (not in the letter) whose praise is not from man, but from God.
