 |
| |
| | Rom 2:1 | Therefore 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.
| |
| | Rom 2:2 | And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.
| |
| | Rom 2:3 | But 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?
| |
| | Rom 2:4 | Or 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?
| |
| | Rom 2:5 | But 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,
| |
| | Rom 2:6 | who will render to each person according to his deeds:
| |
| | Rom 2:7 | to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;
| |
| | Rom 2:8 | but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.
| |
| | Rom 2:9 | There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,
| |
| | Rom 2:10 | but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
| |
| | Rom 2:11 | For there is no partiality with God.
| |
| | Rom 2:12 | For 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;
| |
| | Rom 2:13 | for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.
| |
| | Rom 2:14 | For 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,
| |
| | Rom 2:15 | in 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,
| |
| | Rom 2:16 | on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.
| |
| | Rom 2:17 | But if you bear the name "Jew" and rely upon the Law and boast in God,
| |
| | Rom 2:18 | and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law,
| |
| | Rom 2:19 | and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
| |
| | Rom 2:20 | a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,
| |
| | Rom 2:21 | you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal?
| |
| | Rom 2:22 | You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
| |
| | Rom 2:23 | You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?
| |
| | Rom 2:24 | For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," just as it is written.
| |
| | Rom 2:25 | For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice the Law; but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
| |
| | Rom 2:26 | So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
| |
| | Rom 2:27 | And 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?
| |
| | Rom 2:28 | For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
| |
| | Rom 2:29 | But 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.
