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