¹ Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are that judge: for in which+ you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do 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 do you think this, O man, that judge them which do such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? ⁴ Or despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? ⁵ But after your hardness and impenitent heart treasures up to yourself 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 to them that are contentious+ , and do not obey+ the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, ⁹ Tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; ¹⁰ But+ glory, honour, and peace, to every man that works 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 will also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law; ¹³ (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law will 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 to themselves: ¹⁵ Which show 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 will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. ¹⁷ See, you are called a Jew, and rests in the law, and make your boast of God, ¹⁸ And know his will, and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; ¹⁹ And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, ²⁰ An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. ²¹ You therefore which teach another, teach you not yourself? you that preaches a man should not steal, do you steal? ²² You that say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you that detests idols, do you commit sacrilege? ²³ You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonor you God? ²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. ²⁵ For circumcision truly profits, if you keep the law: but if you be a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision. ²⁶ Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? ²⁷ And won't uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfils the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision break 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.
