2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that
judgest: for wherein 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 which commit such things.
2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which 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 unto
thyself wrath against 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 unto 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, which have not the law, do by nature
the things contained in the law, these, having not the law,
are a law unto themselves:
2:15 Which shew 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 Behold, 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 which are in darkness,
2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast
the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
2:21 Thou therefore which 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 keep the law: but
if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made
uncircumcision.
2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep 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 fulfil
the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost
transgress the law?
2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
2:29 But he is a Jew, which 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.
