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