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