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 But we are sure that the judg­ment of God is ac­cord­ing to truth against them which com­mit such things. 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? 4 Or de­spis­est thou the rich­es of his good­ness and for­bear­ance and long­suf­fer­ing; not know­ing that the good­ness of God lead­eth thee to re­pen­tance? 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; 6 Who will ren­der to ev­ery man ac­cord­ing to his deeds: 7 To them who by pa­tient con­tin­u­ance in well do­ing seek for glo­ry and hon­our and im­mor­tal­i­ty, eter­nal life: 8 But unto them that are con­tentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey un­righ­teous­ness, in­dig­na­tion and wrath, 9 Tribu­la­tion and an­guish, upon ev­ery soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gen­tile; 10 But glo­ry, hon­our, and peace, to ev­ery man that wor­keth good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gen­tile: 11 For there is no re­spect of per­sons with God. 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; 13 (For not the hear­ers of the law are just be­fore God, but the do­ers of the law shall be jus­ti­fied. 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: 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;) 16 In the day when God shall judge the se­crets of men by Je­sus Christ ac­cord­ing to my gospel. 17 Be­hold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and mak­est thy boast of God, 18 And know­est his will, and ap­provest the things that are more ex­cel­lent, be­ing in­struct­ed out of the law; 19 And art con­fi­dent that thou thy­self art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in dark­ness, 20 An in­struc­tor of the fool­ish, a teach­er of babes, which hast the form of knowl­edge and of the truth in the law. 21 Thou there­fore which teach­est an­oth­er, teach­est thou not thy­self? thou that preach­est a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not com­mit adul­tery, dost thou com­mit adul­tery? thou that ab­hor­rest idols, dost thou com­mit sac­ri­lege? 23 Thou that mak­est thy boast of the law, through break­ing the law dis­hon­ourest thou God? 24 For the name of God is blas­phemed among the Gen­tiles through you, as it is writ­ten. 25 For cir­cum­ci­sion ver­i­ly prof­iteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a break­er of the law, thy cir­cum­ci­sion is made un­cir­cum­ci­sion. 26 There­fore if the un­cir­cum­ci­sion keep the righ­teous­ness of the law, shall not his un­cir­cum­ci­sion be count­ed for cir­cum­ci­sion? 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? 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one out­ward­ly; nei­ther is that cir­cum­ci­sion, which is out­ward in the flesh: 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.
