1. Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are that judge: for in judging another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge do the same things.
2. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who commit such things.
3. And do you think, O man, who judge those who do such things, and do the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?
4. Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5. But according to your hardness and impenitent heart you store up for yourself wrath for the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6. Who will repay to everyone according to his deeds:
7. To those who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:
8. But to those who are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10. But glory, honor, and peace to every man that works 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 the law shall also perish without the 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, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15. Who show the working of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts meanwhile 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, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast of God,
18. And know his will, and approve of the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19. And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20. An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21. You therefore who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?
22. You who say that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?
23. You who make your boast of the law, through breaking the law do you dishonor God?
24. For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25. For circumcision truly profits, if you keep the law: but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26. Therefore if the uncircumcision keeps the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27. And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfils the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do 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 from men, but from God.
