001 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.
002 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
003 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?
004 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
005 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;
006 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
007 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
008 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
009 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
010 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
011 For there is no respect of persons with God.
012 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;
013 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
014 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:
015 Which show 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;)
016 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
017 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
018 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
019 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
020 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
021 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
022 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
023 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
024 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
025 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
026 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
027 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?
028 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
029 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.
