1Therefore<1352> you have<1510> no<379> excuse<379>, everyone<444><3956> of you who passes<2919> judgment<2919>, for in that which<3739> you judge<2919> another<2087>, you condemn<2632> yourself<4572>; for you who judge<2919> practice<4238> the same<846> things<846>.
2And we know<3609> that the judgment<2917> of God<2316> rightly<2596><225> falls<1510> upon those<3588> who practice<4238> such<5108> things<5108>.
3But do you suppose<3049> this<3778>, O<5599> man<444>, when you pass<2919> judgment<2919> on those<3588> who practice<4238> such<5108> things<5108> and do<4160> the same<846> yourself, that you will escape<1628> the judgment<2917> of God<2316>?
4Or<2228> do you think<2706> lightly<2706> of the riches<4149> of His kindness<5544> and tolerance<463> and patience<3115>, not knowing<50> that the kindness<5543> of God<2316> leads<71> you to repentance<3341>?
5But because<2596> of your stubbornness<4643> and unrepentant<279> heart<2588> you are storing<2343> up wrath<3709> for yourself<4572> in the day<2250> of wrath<3709> and revelation<602> of the righteous<1341> judgment<1341> of God<2316>,
6who<3739> WILL RENDER<591> TO EACH<1538> PERSON<1538> ACCORDING<2596> TO HIS DEEDS<2041>:
7to those<3588> who by perseverance<5281> in doing<2041> good<18> seek<2212> for glory<1391> and honor<5092> and immortality<861>, eternal<166> life<2222>;
8but to those<3588> who are selfishly<2052> ambitious<2052> and do not obey<544> the truth<225>, but obey<3982> unrighteousness<93>, wrath<3709> and indignation<2372>.
9There will be tribulation<2347> and distress<4730> for every<3956> soul<5590> of man<444> who does<2716> evil<2556>, of the Jew<2453> first<4413> and also<5037> of the Greek<1672>,
10but glory<1391> and honor<5092> and peace<1515> to everyone<3956> who does<2038> good<18>, to the Jew<2453> first<4413> and also<5037> to the Greek<1672>.
11For there is no<3756> partiality<4382> with God<2316>.
12For all<3745> who<3745> have sinned<264> without<460> the Law<460> will also<2532> perish<622> without<460> the Law<460>, and all<3745> who<3745> have sinned<264> under<1722> the Law<3551> will be judged<2919> by the Law<3551>;
13for it is not the hearers<202> of the Law<3551> who are just<1342> before<3844> God<2316>, but the doers<4163> of the Law<3551> will be justified<1344>.
14For when<3752> Gentiles<1484> who do not have<2192> the Law<3551> do<4160> instinctively<5449> the things of the Law<3551>, these<3778>, not having<2192> the Law<3551>, are a law<3551> to themselves<1438>,
15in that they show<1731> the work<2041> of the Law<3551> written<1123> in their hearts<2588>, their conscience<4893> bearing<4828> witness<4828> and their thoughts<3053> alternately<3342> accusing<2723> or<2228> else<2532> defending<626> them,
16on the day<2250> when<3739>, according<2596> to my gospel<2098>, God<2316> will judge<2919> the secrets<2927> of men<444> through<1223> Christ<5547> Jesus<2424>.
17But if<1487> you bear<2028> the name<2028> "Jew<2453>" and rely<1879> upon the Law<3551> and boast<2744> in God<2316>,
18and know<1097> His will<2307> and approve<1381> the things that are essential<1308>, being instructed<2727> out of the Law<3551>,
19and are confident<3982> that you yourself<4572> are a guide<3595> to the blind<5185>, a light<5457> to those<3588> who are in darkness<4655>,
20a corrector<3810> of the foolish<878>, a teacher<1320> of the immature<3516>, having<2192> in the Law<3551> the embodiment<3446> of knowledge<1108> and of the truth<225>,
21you, therefore<3767>, who teach<1321> another<2087>, do you not teach<1321> yourself<4572>? You who preach<2784> that one shall not steal<2813>, do you steal<2813>?
22You who say<3004> that one should not commit<3431> adultery<3431>, do you commit<3431> adultery<3431>? You who abhor<948> idols<1497>, do you rob<2416> temples<2416>?
23You who<3739> boast<2744> in the Law<3551>, through<1223> your breaking<3847> the Law<3551>, do you dishonor<818> God<2316>?
24For "THE NAME<3686> OF GOD<2316> IS BLASPHEMED<987> AMONG<1722> THE GENTILES<1484> BECAUSE<1223> OF YOU," just<2531> as it is written<1125>.
25For indeed<3303> circumcision<4061> is of value<5623> if<1437> you practice<4238> the Law<3551>; but if<1437> you are a transgressor<3848> of the Law<3551>, your circumcision<4061> has become<1096> uncircumcision<203>.
26So<3767> if<1437> the uncircumcised<203> man<203> keeps<5442> the requirements<1345> of the Law<3551>, will not his uncircumcision<203> be regarded<3049> as circumcision<4061>?
27And he who is physically<5449> uncircumcised<203>, if he keeps<5055> the Law<3551>, will he not judge<2919> you who<3588> though<1223> having the letter<1121> of the Law and circumcision<4061> are a transgressor<3848> of the Law<3551>?
28For he is not a Jew<2453> who<3588> is one outwardly<1722><5318>, nor<3761> is circumcision<4061> that which is outward<5318> in the flesh<4561>.
29But he is a Jew<2453> who<3588> is one inwardly<2927>; and circumcision<4061> is that which is of the heart<2588>, by the Spirit<4151>, not by the letter<1121>; and his praise<1868> is not from men<444>, but from God<2316>.
