The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans

- Kapitel 2 -

(Psalm 75:1–10)
1
Wherefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou dost the same things which thou judgest.
2
For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things.
3
And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and patience, and longsuffering? Knowest thou not, that the benignity of God leadeth thee to penance?
5
But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou treasurest up to thyself wrath, against the day of wrath, and revelation of the just judgment of God.
6
Who will render to every man according to his works.
7
To them indeed, who according to patience in good work, seek glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life:
8
But to them that are contentious, and who obey not the truth, but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation.
9
Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.
10
But glory, and honour, and peace to every one that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11
For there is no respect of persons with God.
12
For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and whosoever 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, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves:
15
Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another,
16
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

The Jews and the Law

17
But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18
And knowest his will, and approvest the more profitable things, being instructed by the law,
19
Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,
20
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.
21
Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest not thyself: thou that preachest that men should not steal, stealest:
22
Thou that sayest, men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege:
23
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest God.
24
(For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.)
25
Circumcision profiteth indeed, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26
If, then, the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27
And shall not that which by nature is uncircumcision, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?
28
For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly; nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh:
29
But he is a Jew, that is one inwardly; and the circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
(Psalm 75:1–10)
1
Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
2
We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3
Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4
Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5
But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,
6
whowill pay back to everyone according to their works:”(a)
7
to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;
8
but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
9
oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10
But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11
For there is no partiality with God.
12
For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13
For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
14
(for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
15
in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
16
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

The Jews and the Law

17
Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
18
know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19
and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
21
You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
22
You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23
You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
24
Forthe name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” (b) just as it is written.
25
For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26
If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
27
Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
28
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
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.
