¹ Therfore canst thou not excuse thyselfe (O ma) who soeuer thou be that iudgest: for loke wherin thou iudgest another, thou condemnest thy selfe, in so moch as thou that iudgest, doest euen the same. ² For we are sure that the iudgment of God is (acordinge to the trueth) ouer them that do soch. ³ But thinkest thou this O thou man, that iudgest them which do soch thinges, and doest euen the very same thy selfe, that thou shalt escape ye iudgmet of God? ⁴ Or despysest thou the riches of his goodnesse, pacience, and loge sufferinge? Knowest thou not, that ye louynge kyndnesse of God leadeth the to repentaunce? ⁵ But thou after thine harde and impenitent hert, heapest vnto thy selfe a treasure of wrath, agaynst the daye of wrath and of the openynge of the righteous iudgment of God, ⁶ which shal rewarde euery man acordinge to his dedes: ⁷ namely, prayse & honoure, and vncorrupcion, vnto them that with pacience in doinge good, seke euerlastinge life: ⁸ But vnto them that are contencious & not obedient vnto the trueth, but obeye vnrighteousnes, shal come indignacion and wrath, ⁹ trouble and anguysh vpo all the soules of me that do euell, of the Iewe first and also of the Greke: ¹⁰ But vnto all the that do good (shal come) prayse and honoure, and peace, vnto the Iewe first, and also to the Greke. ¹¹ For there is no respecte of personnes before God: Who so euer haue synned without lawe, ¹² shal perish also without lawe: and whosoeuer haue synned in the lawe, shalbe iudged by the lawe. ¹³ For before God, they are not righteous, which heare ye lawe: but they that do the lawe, shalbe iustified. ¹⁴ For yf the Gentyles which haue not the lawe, do of nature the thinges conteyned in the lawe, then they hauynge not the lawe, are a lawe vnto them selues, ¹⁵ in that they shewe, that the worke of ye lawe is wrytte in their hertes: whyle their conscience beareth witnesse vnto the, and also the thoughtes which accuse or excuse them amonge them selues, ¹⁶ in the daye whan God shal iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, acordinge to my Gospell. ¹⁷ But take hede, thou art called a Iewe, and trustest in the lawe, & makest thy boost of God, ¹⁸ and knowest his will: & for so moch as thou art enfourmed out of ye lawe, ¹⁹ thou prouest what is best to do, and presumest to be a leader of the blynde: a lighte of them yt are in darcknes: ²⁰ an enformer of ye vnwyse: a teacher of ye symple: which hast the ensample of knowlege & of the trueth in the lawe. ²¹ Now teachest thou other, and teachest not thy selfe. Thou preachest that a man shulde not steale, and thou stealest. ²² Thou sayest, that a man shulde not breake wedlocke, and thou breakest wedlocke.

And the circumcision of ye hert is the circumcision, which is done in the sprete and not in the letter: Whoseprayse is not of men, but of God.
