1 Wherefore inexcusable thou art, O man every one who art judging. In which for thou judgest the other, thyself thou condemnest; the things for same thou doest who art judging.
2 We know but, that the sentence of the God is according to truth upon those the things such doing.
3 Thinkest thou and this, O man who art judging those the things such doing, and art doing them, that thou shalt escape the sentence of the God?
4 Or of the wealth of the goodness of him and of the forbearance and of the patience thinkest thou wrong, being ignorant, that the goodness of the God to reformation thee leads?
5 According to but the hardness of thee and unchanged heart, thou treasurest to thyself wrath in a day of wrath and of a revelation of righteous judgment of the God,
6 who will render to each according to the works of him;
7 to those indeed by perseverance of a work good, glory and honor and incorruptibility are seeking, life agelasting;
8 to those but from a party spirit, and disobeying indeed the truth, obeying but the unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.
9 Affliction and distress on every soul of man of the working the evil, of Jew both first and of Greek;
10 glory but and honor and peace to every one the working the good, to Jew both first and to Greek.
11 Not for is respect of persons with the God.
12 As many as for without law sinned, without law also shall perish; and as many as under law sinned, by law shall be judged,
13 (not for the hearers of the law just ones with the God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 When for Gentiles those not a law having, by nature the things of the law may do, these a law not having, to themselves are a law;
15 who show plainly the work of the law written in the hearts of them, testifying with them the conscience, and between each other of the reasonings accusing or even defending,)
16 in a day when shall judge the God the things secrets of the men, according to the glad tidings of me, through Jesus Anointed.
17 If but thou a Jew art named, and doest rest in the law, and doest boast in God,
18 and knowest the will, and discernest the things differing, being instructed out of the law;
19 hast believed and thyself a guide to be of blind ones, a light of those in darkness,
20 an instructor of simple ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law;
21 who then art teaching another, thyself not doest thou teach; who art preaching not to steal, doest thou steal?
22 who art saying not to commit adultery, doest thou commit adultery? who art detesting the idols, doest thou rob temples?
23 who in a law boastest, through the violation of the law the God doest thou dishonor?
24 The for name of the God through you is blasphemed among the nations, even as it has been written.
25 Circumcision indeed for profits, if law thou practisest; if but a violator of law thou mayest be, the circumcision of thee uncircumcision has become.
26 If therefore the uncircumcision the ordinances of the law may keep, not the uncircumcision of him for circumcision will be counted?
27 and will judge the from nature uncircumcision, the law perfecting, thee who through letter and circumcision a violator of law?
28 Not for he in the outward appearance, a Jew is, nor that in the outward appearance, in flesh, circumcision;
29 but he in the hidden a Jew, even circumcision of heart, in spirit, not letter; of whom the praise not from men, but from the God.
1 You who judge have no excuse. For when you judge another you condemn yourself. After all you do the same things.
2 We are sure that the judgment of God, according to truth, is against those who commit such things.
3 What do you reason O man? When you judge these things, and you also do them, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God?
4 Do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and long-suffering? Do you not know that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5 Thanks to your stubborn and unrepentant heart, you store up wrath for yourself, in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.
6 He will render to each according to his works.
7 He offers everlasting life for those who search for incorruptible glory and honor by enduring in good works.
8 Those who are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will receive wrath and indignation.
9 There will be tribulation and distress on every person who works evil, for the Jew first and for the Greek.
10 There will be glory, honor and peace to every one who does good works, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
11 God is not partial! God does not play favorites!
12 For all who have sinned without law will perish without law. All who have sinned under law will be judged under law.
13 The hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be righteous.
14 When those of the nations, who have no law, practice by nature the things of the law they are a law to themselves even though they do not have any law.
15 They show the work of the law written in their hearts. Their conscience also bears witness, and their thoughts accuse or excuse them.
16 This is in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, by Jesus Christ.
17 If you are a Jew in name and are resting on the law and taking glory in God,
18 you know his will. You approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law.
19 And you have confidence that you are a leader of the blind, a light to those in darkness.
20 You are an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.
21 You then who teach another, do you teach yourself? You who preach not to steal, do you steal?
22 You who say man should not commit adultery do you commit adultery? You who abhors idols do you rob temples?
23 You who boast in the law do you by transgression of the law dishonor God?
24 The name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, just as it is written. (Ezekiel 36:20, 21)
25 Circumcision is a benefit if you obey the law. But if you are a transgressor of the law your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
26 If therefore someone not circumcised obeys the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be considered circumcision?
27 The uncircumcised person is by nature, fulfilling the law. He will judge you because you transgress the law with your written code and circumcision.
28 He is not a Jew who is one on the outside. Neither is circumcision that which is on the outside in the flesh.
29 But he is a Jew who is so on the inside with circumcision of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
