RWebster - Romans - 2

2:1  Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art that judgest: for in that thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2:2  But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them who commit such things.

2:3  And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

2:4  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

2:5  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up to thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

2:6  Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

2:7  To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

2:8  But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

2:9  Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

2:10  But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

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 have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law to themselves:

2:15  Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

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

2:17  But if, thou art called a Jew, and restest in 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 of them who are in darkness,

2:20  An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, 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 abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

2:23  Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

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

2:25  For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keepest the law: but if thou art a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

2:26  Therefore if the uncircumcision keepeth the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

2:27  And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it keepeth the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

2:28  For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward 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 from men, but from God.
