 2:1  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.
 2:2  But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to
truth against them which commit such things.
 2:3  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?
 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
unto thyself wrath against 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 unto 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, which have not the law, do by
nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the
law, are a law unto themselves:
 2:15  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;)
 2:16  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by
Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
 2:17  Behold, 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 which are in darkness,
 2:20  An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which
hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
 2:21  Thou therefore which 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 keep the law:
but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made
uncircumcision.
 2:26  Therefore if the uncircumcision keep 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
fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision
dost transgress the law?
 2:28  For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is
that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
 2:29  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.
