AFV2020 - Romans - 2

2:1  Therefore you are without excuse, O man, everyone who judges another; for in that in which you judge the other, you are condemning your own self; for you who judge another are doing the same things.

2:2  But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who commit such things.

2:3  Now do you think yourself, O man, whoever is judging those who commit such things, and you are practicing them yourself, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

2:4  Or do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the graciousness of God leads you to repentance?

2:5  But you, according to your own hardness and unrepentant heart, are storing up wrath for yourself against the day of wrath and revelation of God's righteous judgment,

2:6  Who will render to each one according to his own works:

2:7  On the one hand, to those who with patient endurance in good works are seeking glory and honor and immortality— eternal life;

2:8  On the other hand, to those who are contentious and who disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,

2:9  Tribulation and anguish—upon every soul of man who works out evil, both of the Jew first, and of the Greek;

2:10  But glory and honor and peace to everyone who works good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek,

2:11  Because there is no respect of persons with God.

2:12  For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as have sinned within the law shall be judged by the law,

2:13  (Because the hearers of the law are not just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

2:14  For when the Gentiles, which do not have the law, practice by nature the things contained in the law, these who do not have the law are a law unto themselves;

2:15  Who show the work of the law written in their own hearts, their consciences bearing witness, and their reasonings also, as they accuse or defend one another;)

2:16  In a day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

2:17  Behold, you are called a Jew, and you yourself rest in the law, and boast in God,

2:18  And know His will, and approve of the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

2:19  And are persuaded that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light for those in darkness,

2:20  An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth contained in the law.

2:21  You, then, who are teaching another, do you not teach yourself also? You who preach, "Do not steal," are you stealing?

2:22  You who say, "Do not commit adultery," are you committing adultery? You who abhor idols, are you committing sacrilege?

2:23  You who boast in law, are you dishonoring God through your transgression of the law?

2:24  For through you the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, exactly as it is written.

2:25  For on the one hand, circumcision profits if you are observing the law; on the other hand, if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

2:26  Therefore, if the uncircumcised is keeping the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?

2:27  And shall not the uncircumcised, who by nature is fulfilling the law, judge you, who, with the letter and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?

2:28  For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is external in the flesh;

2:29  Rather, he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.
