2:1  Therefore you are without excuse, O man, everyone who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
2:2  And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.
2:3  But do you presume this, O man—who passes judgment on those who practice such things and does the same—that you will escape the judgment of God?
2:4  Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
2:5  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,
2:6  who will repay to each according to his works:
2:7  to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;
2:8  but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger.
2:9  There will be affliction and turmoil for every soul of man who works out evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,
2:10  but glory and honor and peace to everyone who works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
2:11  For there is no partiality with God.
2:12  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.
2:13  For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.
2:14  For when Gentiles who do not have the Law naturally do the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves,
2:15  in that they demonstrate the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,
2:16  on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.
2:17  But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely upon the Law and boast in God,
2:18  and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law,
2:19  and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
2:20  a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,
2:21  you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal?
2:22  You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
2:23  You who boast in the Law, through your transgression of the Law, do you dishonor God?
2:24  For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
2:25  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.
2:26  So if the uncircumcised man observes the righteous requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
2:27  And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the Law, will he not judge you who, through the letter of the Law and circumcision, are a transgressor of the Law?
2:28  For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
2:29  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.
