| 2:1 | Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art that judgest: for in that thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. |
| 2:2 | But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them who commit such things. |
| 2:3 | And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? |
| 2:4 | Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
| 2:5 | But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up to thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; |
| 2:6 | Who will render to every man according to his deeds: |
| 2:7 | To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: |
| 2:8 | But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, |
| 2:9 | Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; |
| 2:10 | But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: |
| 2:11 | For there is no respect of persons with God. |
| 2:12 | 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; |
| 2:13 | (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. |
| 2:14 | For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law to themselves: |
| 2:15 | Who 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;) |
| 2:16 | In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. |
| 2:17 | But if, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, |
| 2:18 | And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; |
| 2:19 | And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness, |
| 2:20 | An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. |
| 2:21 | Thou therefore who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
| 2:22 | Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? |
| 2:23 | Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? |
| 2:24 | For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. |
| 2:25 | For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keepest the law: but if thou art a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. |
| 2:26 | Therefore if the uncircumcision keepeth the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? |
| 2:27 | And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it keepeth the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? |
| 2:28 | For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: |
| 2:29 | But he [is] a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not from men, but from God. |
