2:1  Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
2:2  But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
2:3  And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
2:4  Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
2:5  But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
2:6  who “will render to each one according to his deeds”:
2:7  eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;
2:8  but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,
2:9  tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;
2:10  but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
2:11  For there is no partiality with God.
2:12  For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law
2:13  (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
2:14  for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,
2:15  who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)
2:16  in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
2:17  Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God,
2:18  and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, 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  an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law.
2:21  You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?
2:22  You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
2:23  You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?
2:24  For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.
2:25  For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
2:26  Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
2:27  And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code 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 of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.
