Romans 2 THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, even every one that judgeth: for in the very thing wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest art living in the practices of the same things.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, even every one that judgeth: for in the very thing wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest art living in the practices of the same things. ² But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against those who practise such things. ³ For thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest those who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? ⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of his kindness and patience and long-suffering, ignorant that this goodness of God is leading thee to repentance? ⁵ But after thy obdurate and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath at the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who will recompense to every man according to his works; ⁷ to those who, in the patient practice of good works, seek glory and honour and immortality—eternal life. ⁸ But to those who are of a contentious spirit, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath; ⁹ tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth wickedness, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek. ¹⁰ But glory and honour and peace be to every man who doeth that which is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek: ¹¹ for there is no acceptance of persons with God. ¹² For as many as have sinned without the law, shall perish also without the law: and as many as have sinned under 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 counted righteous; ¹⁴ (for when the Gentiles, who have not the law naturally, do the things of the law, these, though not having the law, are a law unto themselves: ¹⁵ which exhibit the practice of the law written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing its testimony, and their mutual reasonings at intervals bringing accusations or forming excuses;) ¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, according to my gospel by Jesus Christ. ¹⁷ Lo! thou art named a Jew, and restest on the law, and boastest in God, ¹⁸ and knowest the will of God, and bringest to the test the things that are different, being instructed out of the law; ¹⁹ and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of the uninformed, a teacher of babes, holding the form of knowledge and of truth in the law. ²¹ Thou therefore who teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that proclaimest aloud that a man should not steal, dost thou steal? ²² thou that sayest, Do not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that holdest idols in abomination, dost thou commit sacrilege? ²³ thou who gloriest in the law, dishonourest thou God by the transgression of the law? ²⁴ for the name of God is blasphemed through you among the heathen, as it is written. ²⁵ For circumcision indeed is advantageous, if thou practise the law: but if thou art a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision becomes uncircumcision, ²⁶ If then the uncircumcision observe the righteous judgments of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be accounted for circumcision? ²⁷ And the uncircumcision by nature which fulfilleth the law shall condemn thee, who through the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law. ²⁸ For not he who is outwardly such, is the Jew; neither is that which is outward in the flesh, circumcision. ²⁹ But he is a Jew who is such inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
