1 T herefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

¶ Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for in that which thou dost judge another, thou dost condemn thyself; for thou that judgest others doest the same things.

2 A nd we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

For we are sure that the judgment of God is according to the truth against those who do such things.

3 B ut do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

And dost thou think this, O man, that judgest those who do such things and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

4 O r do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, ignoring that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

5 B ut because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasures up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

6 w ho will render to each person according to his deeds:

who will render to everyone according to his deeds:

7 t o those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;

to those who persevered in well doing, glory and honour and incorruption, to those who seek eternal life;

8 b ut to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.

but unto those that are contentious and do not obey the truth, but are persuaded by unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.

9 T here will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,

Tribulation and anguish shall be upon every human soul that does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek;

10 b ut glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

but glory, honour, and peace to everyone that works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

11 F or there is no partiality with God.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 F or all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;

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

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

(for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;

14 F or when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves,

for when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature that which is of the law, these, not having the law, are a law unto themselves;

15 i n that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, accusing and also excusing their reasonings one with another)

16 o n the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. The Jew Is Condemned by the Law

in the day when God shall judge that which men have covered up, according to my gospel by Jesus, the Christ.

17 B ut if you bear the name “Jew” and rely upon the Law and boast in God,

¶ Behold, thou doth call thyself a Jew and art supported by the law and doth glory in God

18 a nd know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law,

and dost know his will and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,

19 a nd are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,

20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,

an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of children, who hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

21 y ou, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal?

Thou, therefore, who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

22 Y ou who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that dost abhor idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

23 Y ou who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?

Thou that makest thy boast of the law, with rebellion to the law doth thou dishonour God?

24 F or “ the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.

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

25 F or indeed circumcision is of value if you practice the Law; but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

For circumcision verily profits if thou keep the law, but if thou art a rebel to the law, thy circumcision is made into a foreskin.

26 S o if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his foreskin be counted for circumcision?

27 A nd he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a transgressor of the Law?

And that which is by nature foreskin, but keeps the law perfectly, shall judge thee who with the letter and with the circumcision art rebellious to the law.

28 F or he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is done outwardly in the flesh;

29 B ut he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

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 of men, but of God.
