Romans

¹For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge. ↗

²For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things. ↗

³But, O man, when you judge those who do such things as you yourself also do, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God? ↗

⁴Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and patience and forbearance? Do you not know that the kindness of God is calling you to repentance? ↗

⁵But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God. ↗

⁶For he will render to each one according to his works: ↗

⁷To those who, in accord with patient good works, seek glory and honor and incorruption, certainly, he will render eternal life. ↗

⁸But to those who are contentious and who do not acquiesce to the truth, but instead trust in iniquity, he will render wrath and indignation. ↗

⁹Tribulation and anguish are upon every soul of man that works evil: the Jew first, and also the Greek. ↗

¹⁰But glory and honor and peace are for all who do what is good: the Jew first, and also the Greek. ↗

¹¹For there is no favoritism with God. ↗

¹²For whoever had sinned without the law, will perish without the law. And whoever had sinned in the law, will be judged by the law. ↗

¹³For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but rather it is the doers of the law who shall be justified. ↗

¹⁴For when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature those things which are of the law, such persons, not having the law, are a law unto themselves. ↗

¹⁵For they reveal the work of the law written in their hearts, while their conscience renders testimony about them, and their thoughts within themselves also accuse or even defend them, ↗

¹⁶unto the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, through Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel. ↗

¹⁷But if you are called by name a Jew, and you rest upon the law, and you find glory in God, ↗

¹⁸and you have known his will, and you demonstrate the more useful things, having been instructed by the law: ↗

¹⁹you become confident within yourself that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, ↗

²⁰an instructor to the foolish, a teacher to children, because you have a type of knowledge and truth in the law. ↗

²¹As a result, you teach others, but you do not teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, but you yourself steal. ↗

²²You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege. ↗

²³You would glory in the law, but through a betrayal of the law you dishonor God. ↗

²⁴(For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles, just as it was written.) ↗

²⁵Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. ↗

²⁶And so, if the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this lack of circumcision be counted as circumcision? ↗

²⁷And that which is by nature uncircumcised, if it fulfills the law, should it not judge you, who by the letter and by circumcision are a betrayer of the law? ↗

²⁸For a Jew is not he who seems so outwardly. Neither is circumcision that which seems so outwardly, in the flesh. ↗

²⁹But a Jew is he who is so inwardly. And circumcision of the heart is in the spirit, not in the letter. For its praise is not of men, but of God. ↗
