Romans 2
Reading view
1Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
3Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;
7to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life;
8but to those who are self-seeking, and don't obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,
9oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, on the Jew first, and also on the Greek.
10But glory and honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
12For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13For it isn't the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
14(for when Gentiles who don't have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
15in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
19and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
21You therefore who teach another, don't you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn't steal, do you steal?
22You who say a man shouldn't commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
25For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won't his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
27Won't the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
