1 |
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that
1judgest: 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 |
1Who will 2render
to every man according to his deeds:

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and
honour and immortality, eternal life: |

| But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness, indignation and 1wrath,

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 1doers
of the law shall be justified.
1
Matt 7:21,
James 1:22
|
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.
Ezek 36:20,
23
|
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. |
