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
(2:1)
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things
(2:2)
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?
(2:3)
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
(2:4)
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;
(2:5)
04
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
(2:6)
04
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
(2:7)
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
(2:8)
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
(2:9)
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
(2:10)
For there is no respect of persons with God
(2:11)
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;
(2:12)
(For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified
(2:13)
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:
(2:14)
Which show 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;)
(2:15)
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
(2:16)

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
(2:17)
And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
(2:18)
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
(2:19)
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law
(2:20)
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
(2:21)
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
(2:22)
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
(2:23)
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written
(2:24)
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision
(2:25)
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
(2:26)
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?
(2:27)
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
(2:28)
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.
(2:29)
