[1] Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
[2] And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.
[3] But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?
[4] Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
[5] But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
[6] who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS:
[7] to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;
[8] but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.
[9] There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,
[10] but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
[11] For there is no partiality with God.
[12] For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the 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 Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves,
[15] in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,
[16] on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.
[17] But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely upon the Law and boast in God,
[18] and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law,
[19] and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
[20] a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,
[21] you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal?
[22] You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
[23] You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?
[24] For “THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU,” just as it is written.
[25] For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice the Law; but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
[26] So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
[27] And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a transgressor of the Law?
[28] For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
[29] But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
