THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE ROMANS 2

Text size

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 ⚑
