Romans 2 (King James Version)
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 But we are sure that the judgment of God is
according to truth against them which commit such things.
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?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and
forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of
God leadeth thee to repentance?
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;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing
seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey
the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that
doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that
worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
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;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God,
but the doers of the law shall be justified.
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:
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;
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men
by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest
in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that
are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of
the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes,
which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 Thou therefore which teachest another,
teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not
steal, dost thou steal?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery,
dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou
commit sacrilege?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through
breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the
Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the
law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is
made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the
righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted
for circumcision?
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?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly;
neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
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.
