¹ Therefore you are without excuse, O man, everyone who judges; for in that in which you judge another, you condemn yourself, for you who judge do the same things.

² But know that the judgment of God is according to truth on those who practice such things.

³ And, O man, the one judging those who do such things, and practice them, do you think this, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

⁴ Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and the forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

⁵ But according to your hardness and your impenitent heart, do you treasure up wrath for yourself in a day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

⁶ who will render to each according to his works;

⁷ indeed to those who with patience in good work are seeking for glory, and honor, and incorruptibility, everlasting life.

⁸ But to those who even disobey the truth out of self-interest, but obey unrighteousness, it will be anger and wrath,

⁹ tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man who has worked out evil; of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.

¹⁰ But He will give glory, honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.

¹² For as many as sinned without Law will also perish without Law. And as many as have sinned within Law shall be judged through Law.

¹³ For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

¹⁴ For when the nations, who do not have the Law, do by nature the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves;

¹⁵ who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and the thoughts between one another accusing or even excusing one another,

¹⁶ in a day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

¹⁷ Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and boast in God;

¹⁸ and know His will and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law;

¹⁹ and persuading yourselves to be a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness;

²⁰ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law.

²¹ Therefore the one teaching another, do you not teach yourself? The one preaching not to steal, do you steal?

²² The one saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one detesting idols, do you rob temples?

²³ You who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through breaking the Law?

²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you, as it is written.

²⁵ For circumcision truly profits if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

²⁶ If then the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

²⁷ And the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Law, shall it not judge you, who through letter and circumcision become transgressors of the Law?

²⁸ For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that outwardly in flesh;

²⁹ but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart; in spirit and not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
