2:1  Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for in that which thou dost judge another, thou dost condemn thyself; for thou that judgest others doest the same things.
2:2  For we are sure that the judgment of God is according to the truth against those who do such things.
2:3  And dost thou think this, O man, that judgest those who do such things and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
2:4  Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, ignoring that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?
2:5  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasures up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
2:6  who will render to everyone according to his deeds:
2:7  to those who persevered in well doing, glory and honour and incorruption, to those who seek eternal life;
2:8  but unto those that are contentious and do not obey the truth, but are persuaded by unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.
2:9  Tribulation and anguish shall be upon every human soul that does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek;
2:10  but glory, honour, and peace to everyone that works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
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, who do not have the law, do by nature that which is of the law, these, not having 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, accusing and also excusing their reasonings one with another)
2:16  in the day when God shall judge that which men have covered up, according to my gospel by Jesus, the Christ.
2:17  Behold, thou doth call thyself a Jew and art supported by the law and doth glory in God
2:18  and dost know his will and approve 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 those who are in darkness,
2:20  an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of children, who hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
2:21  Thou, therefore, who 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 dost abhor idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
2:23  Thou that makest thy boast of the law, with rebellion to the law doth thou dishonour God?
2:24  For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
2:25  For circumcision verily profits if thou keep the law, but if thou art a rebel to the law, thy circumcision is made into a foreskin.
2:26  Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his foreskin be counted for circumcision?
2:27  And that which is by nature foreskin, but keeps the law perfectly, shall judge thee who with the letter and with the circumcision art rebellious to the law.
2:28  For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is done outwardly in the flesh;
2:29  but he is a Jew who 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.
