Romans Chapter 2

1 You, 

therefore, 

have no excuse, 

you who pass judgment on another. 

For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, 

because you who pass judgment 

do the same things.

2 And we know 

that God’s judgment 

against those who do such things 

is based on truth.

3So when you, 

O man, 

pass judgment on others, 

yet do the same things, 

do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

4 Or do you disregard

the riches of His 

kindness, 

tolerance, 

and patience, 

not realizing that God’s kindness

leads you to repentance?

5 But because of your hard

and unrepentant heart, 

you are storing up wrath 

against yourself for the day of wrath, 

when God’s righteous judgment 

will be revealed.

6 God “will repay each one 

according to his deeds.”

7 To those who by perseverance

in doing good 

seek glory, 

honor, 

and immortality, 

He will give eternal life.

8 But for those who are self-seeking

and who reject the truth 

and follow wickedness, 

there will be wrath and anger.

9 There will be trouble 

and distress 

for every human being who does evil, 

first for the Jew, 

then for the Greek;

10 but glory, 

honor, 

and peace 

for everyone who does good, 

first for the Jew, 

then for the Greek.

11 For God 

does not show favoritism.

12 All who sin apart from the law 

will also perish apart from the law, 

and all who sin 

under the law

will be judged by the law.

13 For it is not the hearers of the law 

who are righteous before God, 

but it is the doers of the law 

who will be declared righteous.

14 Indeed, 

when Gentiles, 

who do not have the law, 

do by nature what the law requires, 

they are a law to themselves, 

even though they do not have the law.

15 So they show that the work of the law 

is written on their hearts, 

their consciences also bearing witness, 

and their thoughts 

either accusing 

or defending them

16 on the day 

when God will judge men’s secrets

through Christ Jesus, 

as proclaimed by my gospel.

17 Now you, 

if you call yourself a Jew; 

if you rely on the law 

and boast in God;

18 if you know His will 

and approve of what is superior 

because you are instructed by the law;

19 if you are convinced 

that you are a guide for the blind, 

a light for those in darkness,

20 an instructor of the foolish, 

a teacher of infants, 

because you have in the law 

the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

21 you, then, who teach others, 

do you not teach yourself? 

You who preach against stealing, 

do you steal?

22 You who forbid adultery, ‘

do you commit adultery? 

You who abhor idols, 

do you rob temples?

23 You who boast in the law, 

do you dishonor God

by breaking the law?

24 As it is written: 

“God’s name is blasphemed 

among the Gentiles 

because of you.”

25 Circumcision has value 

if you observe the law, 

but if you break the law, 

your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26 If a man 

who is not circumcised 

keeps the requirements of the law, 

will not his uncircumcision 

be regarded as circumcision?

27 The one who is physically uncircumcised 

yet keeps the law 

will condemn you 

who, 

even though you have the written code 

and circumcision, 

are a lawbreaker.

28 A man is not a Jew 

because he is one outwardly, 

nor is circumcision 

only outward and physical.

29 No, a man is a Jew 

because he is one inwardly, 

and circumcision is a matter of the heart, 

by the Spirit, 

not by the written code. 

Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.
