1Therefore you are without excuse, O man, everyone who judges; for in that in which you judge another, you condemn yourself, for you who judge do the same things. 2But know that the judgment of God is according to truth on those who practice such things. 3And, O man, the [one] judging those who do such things, and practice them, do you think this, that you shall escape the judgment of God? 4Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and the forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 5But according to your hardness and your impenitent heart, do you treasure up wrath for yourself in a day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6who will render to each according to his works; 7indeed to those who with patience [in] good work [are] seeking for glory, and honor, and incorruptibility, everlasting life. 8But to those who indeed disobeying the truth out] of self-seeking, and obeying unrighteousness, will be] anger and wrath, 9tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man who has worked out evil; of the Jew first, and also of the Greek. 10But He [will give] glory, honor and peace to every man who works good, to [the] Jew first and also to [the] Greek. 11For there is no respect of faces with God. 12For as many as sinned without Law will also perish without Law. And as many as have sinned within Law shall be judged through Law. 13For it is not the hearers of the Law who [are] just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. 14For when the nations, who do not have the Law, do by nature the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves; 15who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and the thoughts between one another accusing or even excusing one another, 16in a day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. 17Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and boast in God; 18and know [His] will and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law; 19and persuading yourselves to be a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness; 20an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law. 21Therefore the [one] teaching another, do you not teach yourself? The [one] preaching not to steal, do you steal? 22The [one] saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The [one] detesting idols, do you rob temples? 23[You] who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through breaking the Law? 24For the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you, as it is written. 25For circumcision truly profits if you keep [the] Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26If then the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27And the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Law, shall it not judge you, who through letter and circumcision [become] transgressors of the Law? 28For he is not a Jew who [is one] outwardly, nor [is] circumcision that outwardly in flesh; 29but he [is] a Jew who [is one] inwardly, and circumcision [is] of the heart; in spirit and not in letter; whose praise [is] not from men, but from God.
