Noyes - Romans - 2

2:1  Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man that judgest, whoever thou art. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

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

2:3  And dost thou suppose, O man, who art judging those who do such things, and art thyself doing the same, that thou wilt escape the judgment of God?

2:4  Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God is leading thee to repentance?

2:5  But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up for thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the manifestation of the righteous judgment of God,

2:6  who will render to every one according to his works;

2:7  everlasting life to those who by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory, and honor, and incorruption;

2:8  but to those who are contentious, and disobedient to the truth; but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and indignation.

2:9  Tribulation and distress will be upon every soul of man whose works are evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

2:10  but glory, honor, and peace, to every one whoso works are 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 a law, will also perish without a law; and as many as have sinned under a law, will be judged by a law,

2:13  for it is not the hearers of a law who are righteous before God, but the doers of a law will be accounted righteous; —

2:14  for when the gentiles, who have no law, do by nature what is required by the Law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

2:15  since they show that what the Law requireth is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts in turn accusing or defending them; —

2:16  in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to the gospel which I have preached.

2:17  But if thou art called a Jew, and restest on the Law, and makest thy boast of God,

2:18  and knowest his will, and approvest 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 to those who are in darkness,

2:20  an instructor of those who lack wisdom, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law,—

2:21  dost thou then who teachest another, not teach thyself? Thou who proclaimest that others should not steal, dost thou steal?

2:22  Dost thou who forbiddest to commit adultery, thyself commit adultery? Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?

2:23  Dost thou who boastest of the Law, dishonor God by breaking the Law?

2:24  For, as it is written, "the name of God is on your account blasphemed among the gentiles."

2:25  For circumcision is indeed a benefit to thee, if thou keep the Law; but if thou art a breaker of the Law, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

2:26  If then he who is uncircumcised keep the precepts of the Law, shall not he though uncircumcised be regarded as circumcised?

2:27  Yea, those who are by nature uncircumcised, if they perform the law, will judge thee, who having a written Law and circumcision, art a breaker of the Law.

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

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