1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, every one who is judging. For in that which you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, for you, the [one] judging, practice the same things. VP
2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those practicing such things. VP
3 Now do you reckon this, O man, the [one] judging those practicing such things, and doing them [yourself], that you will escape the judgment of God? VP
4 Or do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? VP
5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up for yourself wrath in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God, VP
6 who “will repay to each according to his works,” VP
7 to those who indeed with perseverance in good work are seeking glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; VP
8 but to those of self-interest and disobeying the truth but obeying unrighteousness, wrath and anger; VP
9 tribulation and distress upon every soul of man working evil, of Jew first and also of Greek; VP
10 but glory and honor and peace to everyone working good, to Jew first and also to Greek. VP
11 For there is no partiality with God. VP
12 For as many as have sinned without [the] law will also perish without [the] law; and as many as have sinned in [the] law will be judged by [the] law, VP
13 for [it is] not the hearers of [the] law [who are] righteous before God; but the doers of [the] law will be declared righteous. VP
14 For when Gentiles, not having law, may do by nature the things of the law, these not having a law are a law to themselves, VP
15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also testifying, and the thoughts between one another accusing or also defending [them] VP
16 on the day when God judges the secrets of men according to my gospel through Christ Jesus. VP
17 But if you are named a Jew and rest upon [the] law and boast in God, VP
18 and you know the will and approve the [things] being superior, being instructed out of the law, VP
19 and you have persuaded yourself [that you] are a guide of [the] blind, a light to those in darkness, VP
20 an instructor of [the] foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law— VP
21 then [you] who are teaching another, do you not teach yourself? [You] who are preaching not to steal, do you steal? VP
22 [You] who are saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? [You] who are abhorring idols, do you rob temples? VP
23 [You] who boast in [the] law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the law? VP
24 As it has been written: “For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you⁺.” VP
25 For circumcision indeed profits if you practice [the] law; but if you are a transgressor of [the] law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. VP
26 Therefore if the uncircumcised one keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be reckoned as circumcision? VP
27 And the uncircumcised one by nature, fulfilling the law, will judge you who through [the] letter and circumcision [are] a transgressor of [the] law. VP
28 For [it is] not the one [who] on the outside is a Jew, nor [is] [that] on the outside in flesh circumcision. VP
29 But a Jew [is one] on the inside, and circumcision [is] of [the] heart, in spirit, not in letter, of whom the praise [is] not of men but of God. VP
