Dual Panel1Therefore <1352> you are <1510> without excuse <379>, whoever you are, when you judge <2919> someone else. For <1063> on whatever grounds you judge <2919> another <2087>, you condemn <2632> yourself <4572>, because <1063> you <4238> who judge <2919> practice <4238> the same things <846>.
2Now <1161> we know <1492> that <3754> God’s <2316> judgment <2917> is <1510> in accordance with <2596> truth <225> against <1909> those who practice <4238> such things <5108>.
3And <1161> do you think <3049>, whoever you are <444>, when you judge <2919> those who practice <4238> such things <5108> and yet <2532> do <4160> them <846> yourself <4771>, that <3754> you will escape <1628> God’s <2316> judgment <2917>?
4Or <2228> do you have contempt <2706> for the wealth <4149> of his <846> kindness <5544>, forbearance <463>, and <2532> patience <3115>, and yet do not know <50> that <3754> God’s <2316> kindness <5543> leads <71> you <4571> to <1519> repentance <3341>?
5But <1161> because of <2596> your <4675> stubbornness <4643> and <2532> your unrepentant <279> heart <2588>, you are storing up <2343> wrath <3709> for yourselves <4572> in <1722> the day <2250> of wrath <3709>, when God’s <2316> righteous judgment <1341> is revealed <602>!
6He will reward <591> each one <1538> according to <2596> his <846> works <2041>:
7eternal <166> life <2222> to those who by <2596> perseverance <5281> in good <18> works <2041> seek <2212> glory <1391> and <2532> honor <5092> and <2532> immortality <861>,
8but <1161> wrath <3709> and <2532> anger <2372> to those who live in <1537> selfish ambition <2052> and <2532> do not obey <544> the truth <225> but <1161> follow <3982> unrighteousness <93>.
9There will be affliction <2347> and <2532> distress <4730> on <1909> everyone <3956> <5590> <444> who does <2716> evil <2556>, on the Jew <2453> first <4412> and <5037> also <2532> the Greek <1672>,
10but <1161> glory <1391> and <2532> honor <5092> and <2532> peace <1515> for everyone <3956> who does <2038> good <18>, for <2453> the Jew <2453> first <4412> and <2532> also <5037> the Greek <1672>.
11For <1063> there is <1510> no <3756> partiality <4382> with <3844> God <2316>.
12For <1063> all <3745> who have sinned <264> apart from the law <460> will <622> also <2532> perish apart <622> from the law <3551>, and all who have sinned <264> under the law will be judged <2919> by <1223> the law <3551>.
13For <1063> it is not <3756> those who hear <202> the law <3551> who are righteous <1342> before <3844> God <2316>, but <235> those who do <4163> the law <3551> will be declared righteous <1344>.
14For <1063> whenever <3752> the Gentiles <1484>, who do <2192> not <3361> have <2192> the law <3551>, do <4160> by nature <5449> the things required by the law <3551>, these <3778> who do not <3361> have <2192> the law <3551> are <1510> a law <3551> to themselves <1438>.
15They show <1731> that the work <2041> of the law <3551> is written <1123> in <1722> their <846> hearts <2588>, as their <846> conscience <4893> bears witness <4828> and <2532> their conflicting thoughts <3053> accuse <2723> or <2228> else <2532> defend <626> them,
16on <1722> the day <2250> when God <2316> will judge <2919> the secrets <2927> of human <444> hearts, according to <2596> my <3450> gospel <2098> through <1223> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
17But <1161> if <1487> you <4771> call <2028> yourself a Jew <2453> and <2532> rely <1879> on the law <3551> and <2532> boast <2744> of your relationship to <1722> God <2316>
18and <2532> know <1097> his will <2307> and <2532> approve <1381> the superior things <1308> because you receive instruction <2727> from <1537> the law <3551>,
19and <5037> if you are convinced <3982> that you yourself <4572> are <1510> a guide <3595> to the blind <5185>, a light <5457> to those who are in <1722> darkness <4655>,
20an educator <3810> of <878> the senseless <878>, a teacher <1320> of little children <3516>, because you have <2192> in <1722> the law <3551> the essential features <3446> of knowledge <1108> and <2532> of the truth <225>–
21therefore <3767> you who teach <1321> someone else <2087>, do you <1321> not <3756> teach <1321> yourself <4572>? You who preach <2784> against <3361> stealing <2813>, do you steal <2813>?
22You who tell <3004> others not <3361> to commit adultery <3431>, do you commit adultery <3431>? You who abhor <948> idols <1497>, do you rob temples <2416>?
23You <2744> who <3739> boast <2744> in <1722> the law <3551> dishonor <818> God <2316> by <1223> transgressing <3847> the law <3551>!
24For <1063> just as <2531> it is written <1125>, “the name <3686> of God <2316> is being blasphemed <987> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484> because of <1223> you <5209>.”
25For <1063> circumcision <4061> has <5623> its value <5623> if <1437> you practice <4238> the law <3551>, but <1161> if <1437> you <1510> break <3848> the law <3551>, your <4675> circumcision <4061> has become <1096> uncircumcision <203>.
26Therefore <3767> if <1437> the uncircumcised man <203> obeys <5442> the righteous requirements <1345> of the law <3551>, will <3049> not <3756> his <846> uncircumcision <203> be regarded <3049> as <1519> circumcision <4061>?
27And <2532> will not the physically <5449> uncircumcised man <203> who keeps <5055> the law <3551> judge <2919> you <4571> who, despite the written code <1121> and <2532> circumcision <4061>, transgress <3848> the law <3551>?
28For <1063> a person is <1510> not <3756> a Jew <2453> who is one outwardly <5318>, nor <3761> is circumcision <4061> something that is outward <5318> in <1722> the flesh <4561>,
29but <235> someone is a Jew <2453> who is one inwardly <2927>, and <2532> circumcision <4061> is of the heart <2588> by <1722> the Spirit <4151> and <3739> not <3756> by the written code <1121>. This person’s praise <1868> is not <3756> from <1537> people <444> but <235> from <1537> God <2316>.
