MKJV - Romans - 2

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

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

2:3  And, O man, the one judging those who do such things, and practice them, do you think this, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

2:4  Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and the forbearance and long-suffering, 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 wrath for yourself in a day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

2:6  who will render to each according to his works;

2:7  indeed to those who with patience in good work are seeking for glory, and honor, and incorruptibility, everlasting life.

2:8  But to those who even disobey the truth out of self-interest, but obey unrighteousness, it will be anger and wrath,

2:9  tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man who has worked out evil; of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.

2:10  But He will give glory, honor and peace to every man who 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 sinned without Law will also perish without Law. And as many as have sinned within Law shall be judged through Law.

2:13  For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

2:14  For when the nations, who do not have the Law, do by nature the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves;

2:15  who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and the thoughts between one another accusing or even excusing 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 rest in the Law, and boast in God;

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

2:19  and persuading yourselves to be a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness;

2:20  an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law.

2:21  Therefore 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 idols, do you rob temples?

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

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

2:25  For circumcision truly profits if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

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

2:27  And the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Law, shall it not judge you, who through letter and circumcision become transgressors of the Law?

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

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