Romans
Chapter 2
|
1 Therefore1352 you are1488 inexcusable,379 O man,444 whoever3956 3588 you are1488 that judge:2919 for wherein1722 3757 you judge2919 another,2087 you condemn2632 yourself;4572 for you that judge2919 do4238 the same846 things.
|
2 But we are sure1492 that the judgment2917 of God2316 is according2596 to truth225 against1909 them which commit4238 such5108 things.
|
3 And think3049 you this,5124 O man,444 that judge2919 them which do4238 such5108 things, and do4160 the same,846 that you shall escape1628 the judgment2917 of God?2316
|
4 Or2228 despise2706 you the riches4149 of his goodness5544 and forbearance463 and long-suffering;3115 not knowing50 that the goodness5543 of God2316 leads71 you to repentance?3341
|
5 But after2596 your hardness4643 and impenitent279 heart2588 treasure2343 up to yourself4572 wrath3709 against1722 the day2250 of wrath3709 and revelation602 of the righteous1341 judgment1341 of God;2316
|
6 Who3739 will render591 to every1538 man according2596 to his deeds:2041
|
7 To them who by patient5281 continuance5281 in well18 doing2041 seek2212 for glory1391 and honor5092 and immortality,861 eternal166 life:2222
|
8 But to them that are contentious,1537 2052 and do not obey544 the truth,225 but obey3982 unrighteousness,93 indignation2372 and wrath,3709
|
9 Tribulation2347 and anguish,4730 on every3956 soul5590 of man444 that does evil,2556 of the Jew2453 first,4412 and also2532 of the Gentile;1672
|
10 But glory,1391 honor,5092 and peace,1515 to every3956 man3956 that works2038 good,18 to the Jew2453 first,4412 and also2532 to the Gentile:1672
|
11 For there is no3756 respect4382 of persons4382 with God.2316
|
12 For as many3745 as have sinned264 without460 law460 shall also2532 perish622 without460 law:460 and as many3745 as have sinned264 in the law3551 shall be judged2919 by the law;3551
|
13 (For not the hearers202 of the law3551 are just1342 before3844 God,2316 but the doers4163 of the law3551 shall be justified.1344
|
14 For when3752 the Gentiles,1484 which3588 have2192 not the law,3551 do4160 by nature5449 the things contained in the law,3551 these,3778 having2192 not the law,3551 are a law3551 to themselves:1438
|
15 Which3748 show1731 the work2041 of the law3551 written1123 in their hearts,2588 their conscience4893 also4828 bearing4828 witness,4828 and their thoughts3053 the mean3342 while accusing2723 or2228 else2532 excusing626 one240 another;240)
|
16 In the day2250 when3753 God2316 shall judge2919 the secrets2927 of men444 by Jesus2424 Christ5547 according2596 to my gospel.2098
|
17 Behold,2396 you are called2028 a Jew,2453 and rest1879 in the law,3551 and make2744 your boast2744 of God,2316
|
18 And know1097 his will,2307 and approve1381 the things that are more excellent,1308 being instructed2727 out of the law;3551
|
19 And are confident3982 that you yourself4572 are a guide3595 of the blind,5185 a light5457 of them which are in darkness,4655
|
20 An instructor3810 of the foolish,878 a teacher1320 of babes,3516 which have2192 the form3446 of knowledge1108 and of the truth225 in the law.3551
|
21 You therefore3767 which3588 teach1321 another,2087 teach1321 you not yourself?4572 you that preach2784 a man should not steal,2813 do you steal?2813
|
22 You that say3004 a man should not commit3431 adultery,3431 do you commit3431 adultery?3431 you that abhor948 idols,1497 do you commit2416 sacrilege?2416
|
23 You that make2744 your boast2744 of the law,3551 through1223 breaking3847 the law3551 dishonor818 you God?2316
|
24 For the name3686 of God2316 is blasphemed987 among1722 the Gentiles1484 through1223 you, as it is written.1125
|
25 For circumcision4061 truly3303 profits,5623 if1437 you keep4238 the law:3551 but if1437 you be a breaker3848 of the law,3551 your circumcision4061 is made1096 uncircumcision.203
|
26 Therefore3767 if1437 the uncircumcision203 keep5442 the righteousness1345 of the law,3551 shall not his uncircumcision203 be counted3049 for circumcision?4061
|
27 And shall not uncircumcision203 which is by nature,5449 if it fulfill5055 the law,3551 judge2919 you, who3588 by the letter1121 and circumcision4061 do transgress3848 the law?3551
|
28 For he is not a Jew,2453 which is one outwardly;1722 5318 neither3761 is that circumcision,4061 which is outward1722 in the flesh:4561
|
29 But he is a Jew,2453 which is one inwardly;1722 2927 and circumcision4061 is that of the heart,2588 in the spirit,4151 and not in the letter;1121 whose3739 praise1868 is not of men,444 but of God.2316
