Wycliffe - Romans - 2

2:1  Wherfor thou art vnexcusable, ech man that demest, for in what thing thou demest anothir man, thou condempnest thi silf; for thou doist the same thingis whiche thou demest.

2:2  And we witen, that the doom of God is aftir treuthe ayens hem, that don siche thingis.

2:3  But gessist thou, man, that demest hem that doen siche thingis, and thou doist tho thingis, that thou schalt ascape the doom of God?

2:4  Whether `dispisist thou the richessis of his goodnesse, and the pacience, and the long abidyng? Knowist thou not, that the benygnyte of God ledith thee to forthenkyng?

2:5  But aftir thin hardnesse and vnrepentaunt herte, thou tresorist to thee wraththe in the dai of wraththe and of schewyng of the riytful doom of God,

2:6  that schal yelde to ech man aftir his werkis;

2:7  sotheli to hem that ben bi pacience of good werk, glorie, and onour, and vncorrupcioun, to hem that seken euerlastynge lijf;

2:8  but to hem that ben of strijf, and that assenten not to treuthe, but bileuen to wickidnesse, wraththe and indignacioun, tribulacioun and angwisch,

2:9  in to ech soule of man that worchith yuel, to the Jew first, and to the Greke;

2:10  but glorie, and honour, and pees, to ech man that worchith good thing, to the Jew first, and to the Greke.

2:11  For accepcioun of persones is not anentis God.

2:12  For who euere han synned without the lawe, schulen perische withouten the lawe; and who euere han synned in the lawe, thei schulen be demyd bi the lawe.

2:13  For the hereris of lawe ben not iust anentis God, but the doeris of the lawe schulen be maad iust.

2:14  For whanne hethene men that han not lawe, don kyndli tho thingis that ben of the lawe, thei not hauynge suche manere lawe, ben lawe to hem silf,

2:15  that schewen the werk of the lawe writun in her hertis. For the conscience of hem yeldith to hem a witnessyng bytwixe hem silf of thouytis that ben accusynge or defendynge,

2:16  in the dai whanne God schal deme the priuy thingis of men aftir my gospel, bi Jhesu Crist.

2:17  But if thou art named a Jew, and restist in the lawe, and hast glorie in God,

2:18  and hast knowe his wille, and thou lerud bi lawe preuest the more profitable thingis,

2:19  and tristist thi silf to be a ledere of blynde men, the liyt of hem that ben in derknessis,

2:20  a techere of vnwise men, a maistir of yonge children, that hast the foorme of kunnyng and of treuthe in the lawe;

2:21  what thanne techist thou another, and techist not thi silf? Thou that prechist that me schal not stele, stelist?

2:22  Thou that techist that me schal `do no letcherie, doist letcherie? Thou that wlatist maumetis, doist sacrilegie?

2:23  Thou that hast glorie in the lawe, vnworschipist God bi brekyng of the lawe?

2:24  For the name of God is blasfemed bi you among hethene men, as is writun.

2:25  For circumcisioun profitith, if thou kepe the lawe; but if thou be a trespassour ayens the lawe, thi circumsicioun is maad prepucie.

2:26  Therfor if prepucie kepe the riytwisnessis of the lawe, whethir his prepucie schal not be arettid in to circumcisioun?

2:27  And the prepucie of kynde that fulfillith the lawe, schal deme thee, that bi lettre and circumcisioun art trespassour ayens the lawe.

2:28  For he that is in opene is not a Jew, nether it is circumsicioun that is openli in the fleisch;

2:29  but he that is a Jew in hid, and the circumcisioun of herte, in spirit, not bi the lettre, whos preisyng is not of men, but of God.
