¹ THEREFORE you are inexcusable, O man, to judge your neighbor: for in judging your neighbor, you condemn yourself; for even you who judge practice the same things yourself.² But we know that the judgment of God is rightly against those who commit such things.³ What do you think, O man? Do you think that you who judge those who practice such things, while you commit them yourself, will escape the judgment of God?⁴ Do you stand against the riches of his goodness and forbearance, and the opportunity which he has given you, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?⁵ Because of the hardness and impenitence of your heart you are laying up for yourself a treasure of wrath for the day of wrath and the revelation of the righteous judgment of God;⁶ Who will render to every man according to his deeds:⁷ To those who continue patiently in good works seeking glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.⁸ But to those who are stubborn and do not obey the truth, but obey iniquity, to them he will render indignation and wrath,⁹ Suffering and affliction, for every man who does evil, for the Jews first, and also for the Syrians.¹⁰ But glory, honor and peace for every one who does good, to the Jews first, and also to the Syrians.¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.¹² For those who have sinned without law, shall also perish without law: and those who have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law,¹³ For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who shall be justified.¹⁴ For if the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these having not the law, are a law unto themselves.¹⁵ And they show the work of the law written on their hearts; and their conscience also bears them witness, when their thoughts either rebuke or defend one another,¹⁶ In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men according to my gospel by Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ Now if you who are called a Jew, trust on the law and are proud of God,¹⁸ And because you know his will, and know the things which must be observed, which you have learned from the law,¹⁹ And you have confidence in yourself that you are a guide of the blind and a light to them who are in darkness,²⁰ An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, you are the semblance of knowledge and of truth as embodied in the law.²¹ Now, therefore, you teach others but fail to teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, yet you steal.²² You say, Men must not commit adultery, yet you commit adultery. You despise idols, yet you rob the sanctuary.²³ You are proud of the law but you dishonor God by breaking the law.²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.²⁵ For circumcision is profitable only if you keep the law: but if you break the law, then circumcision becomes uncircumcision.²⁶ Therefore, if the uncircumcision keep the statutes of the law, behold would not the uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?²⁷ And the uncircumcision which fulfills the law naturally, will condemn you, who, while in possession of the scripture and circumcision, transgress the law.²⁸ For it is not the one who is outwardly a Jew, who is the real Jew; neither is circumcision that which is seen in the flesh.²⁹ But a real Jew is one who is inwardly so, and circumcision is of the heart, spiritually and not literally; whose praise is not from men but from God.
