| 2:1 |
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. |
|
|
|
| 2:2 |
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. |
|
|
|
| 2:3 |
And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? |
|
|
|
| 2:4 |
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
|
|
|
| 2:5 |
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; |
|
|
|
| 2:6 |
Who will render to every man according to his deeds: |
|
|
|
| 2:7 |
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: |
|
|
|
| 2:8 |
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, |
|
|
|
| 2:9 |
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; |
|
|
|
| 2:10 |
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: |
|
|
|
| 2:11 |
For there is no respect of persons with God. |
|
|
|
| 2:12 |
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; |
|
|
|
| 2:13 |
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. |
|
|
|
| 2:14 |
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 unto themselves: |
|
|
|
| 2:15 |
Which shew 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;) |
|
|
|
| 2:16 |
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. |
|
|
|
| 2:17 |
Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, |
|
|
|
| 2:18 |
And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; |
|
|
|
| 2:19 |
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, |
|
|
|
| 2:20 |
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. |
|
|
|
| 2:21 |
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
|
|
|
| 2:22 |
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? |
|
|
|
| 2:23 |
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? |
|
|
|
| 2:24 |
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. |
|
|
|
| 2:25 |
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. |
|
|
|
| 2:26 |
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? |
|
|
|
| 2:27 |
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? |
|
|
|
| 2:28 |
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: |
|
|
|
| 2:29 |
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. |
