LITV - Romans - 2

2:1  Therefore, O man, you are without excuse, everyone who judges, for in that in which you judge the other, you condemn yourself; for you, those judging, practice the same things.

2:2  But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth on those that practice such things.

2:3  And, O man, the one judging those practicing such things, and doing them, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God?

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

2:5  But according to your hardness and your impenitent heart, do you treasure up to yourself wrath in a day of wrath, and revelation of a righteous judgment of God?

2:6  He "will give to each according to his works:" LXX-Psa. 61:13; MT-Psa. 62:12

2:7  everlasting life truly to those who with patience in good work are seeking glory and honor and incorruptibility;

2:8  but to those even disobeying the truth, out of self interest, and obeying unrighteousness, will be anger and wrath,

2:9  trouble and pain on every soul of man that works out evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek.

2:10  But glory and honor and peace will be to everyone that works out good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

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

2:12  For as many as sinned without Law will also perish without Law. And as many as sinned within Law will be judged through Law.

2:13  For not the hearers of the Law are just with God, but the doers of the Law shall be justified.

2:14  For when nations not having Law do by nature the things of the Law, they not having Law are a law to themselves,

2:15  who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing with them , and the thoughts between one another accusing or even excusing,

2:16  in a day when God judges the hidden things of men, according to my gospel, through Jesus Christ.

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

2:18  and know the will, and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law,

2:19  and persuading yourself to be a guide of blind ones, a light to those in darkness,

2:20  an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law.

2:21  Then the one teaching another, do you not teach yourself? The one preaching not to steal, do you steal?

2:22  The one saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one detesting the idols, do you rob temples?

2:23  You who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through transgression of the Law?

2:24  For the name of God is blasphemed among the nations through you, even as it has been written: Isa. 52:5

2:25  For indeed circumcision profits if you practice the Law, but if you are a transgressor of Law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

2:26  If, then, the uncircumcision keeps the demands of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

2:27  And will not the uncircumcision by nature by keeping the Law judge you, the one who through letter and circumcision becomes transgressor of Law?

2:28  For he is not a Jew that is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that outwardly in flesh;

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