Jubilee2000 - Romans - 2

2:1  Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for in that which thou dost judge another, thou dost condemn thyself; for thou that judgest [others] doest the same things.

2:2  For we are sure that the judgment of God is according to [the] truth against those who do such things.

2:3  And dost thou think this, O man, that judgest those who do such things and [doest the same], that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

2:4  Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, ignoring that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

2:5  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasures up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

2:6  who will render to everyone according to his deeds:

2:7  to those who persevered in well doing, glory and honour and incorruption, to those who seek eternal life;

2:8  but unto those that are contentious and do not obey the truth, but are persuaded by unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.

2:9  Tribulation and anguish [shall be] upon every human soul that does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek;

2:10  but glory, honour, and peace to everyone that works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

2:11  For 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 in the law shall be judged by the law

2:13  (for not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;

2:14  for when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature that which is of the law, these, not having the law, are a law unto themselves;

2:15  which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, accusing and also excusing their reasonings one with another)

2:16  in the day when God shall judge that which men have covered up, according to my gospel by Jesus, the Christ.

2:17  Behold, thou doth call thyself a Jew and art supported by the law and doth glory in God

2:18  and dost know [his] will and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,

2:19  and art confident that thou thyself art [a] guide of the blind, [a] light of those who [are] in darkness,

2:20  an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of children, who hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

2:21  Thou, therefore, who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

2:22  Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that dost abhorr idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

2:23  Thou that makest thy boast of the law, with rebellion to the law doth thou dishonour God?

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

2:25  For circumcision verily profits if thou keep the law, but if thou art a rebel to the law, thy circumcision is made [into] a foreskin.

2:26  Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his foreskin be counted for circumcision?

2:27  And that which is by nature foreskin, but keeps the law perfectly, shall judge thee who with the letter and with the circumcision art rebellious to the law.

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

2:29  but he [is] a Jew who 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.:
