| 1 Wherefore, inexcusable, thou art, O man, whoever judgest; for, wherein thou judgest some one else, thyself, thou dost condemn,–for, the very things, thou dost practise, who art judging: |
|
| 2 We know, however, that, the sentence of God, is according to truth against them who, such things as these, do practise. |
|
| 3 And reckonest thou this, O man–who dost judge them who such things do practise, and yet art doing the same, that, thou, shalt escape the sentence of God? |
|
| 4 Or, the riches of his kindness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise,–not knowing that, the kindness of God, unto repentance, is leading thee? |
|
| 5 But, according to thy hardness, and [thine] impenitent heart, art treasuring up for thyself anger, in a day of anger and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,– |
|
| 6 Who will render unto each one according to his works:– |
|
| 7 Unto them, on the one hand, who, by way of endurance in good work, are seeking, glory, honour and incorruption, life age-abiding, |
|
| 8 Unto them, on the other hand, who are of contention, and are not yielding unto the truth, but are yielding unto unrighteousness, anger and wrath, |
|
| 9 tribulation and anguish–against every soul of man who worketh out what is base, both of Jew first and of Greek,– |
|
| 10 But glory and honour and peace–unto every one who worketh what is good, both unto Jew first and unto Greek: |
|
| 11 For there is no respect of persons with God;– |
|
| 12 For, as many as without law sinned, without law, also shall perish, and, as many as within law sinned, through law, shall be judged; |
|
| 13 For, not the hearers of law, are righteous with God, but, the doers of law, shall be declared righteous; |
|
| 14 For, whensoever the nations which have not law, by nature, the things of the law, may be doing, the same, not having law, unto themselves, are a law,– |
|
| 15 Who, indeed, shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience therewith bearing witness, and, between one another, their reasonings accusing–or, even excusing, them:– |
|
| 16 In the day on which God judgeth the secrets of men according to my glad-message through Christ Jesus. |
|
| |
|
| 17 If, however, thou, art taking the name of Jew, and resting thyself upon law, and boasting in God, |
|
| 18 And art taking note of his will, and testing the things that differ–when receiving oral instruction out of the law, |
|
| 19 Art persuaded, moreover, that, thou thyself, art–a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness, |
|
| 20 A trainer of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the forming of knowledge and truth in the law,– |
|
| 21 Thou, therefore, that art teaching someone else, thyself, art thou not teaching? Thou that proclaimest–Do not steal! Art thou, stealing? |
|
| 22 That sayest–Do not commit adultery! Art thou, committing adultery? That abhorrest sacrilege, Art thou, robbing temples? |
|
| 23 That in law dost boast, Through the transgression of the law, art thou dishonouring God? |
|
| 24 For the name of God, because of you, is defamed among the nations,–even as it is written. |
|
| 25 For, circumcision, indeed, profiteth–if, law, thou be practising; but, if thou be a transgressor of law, thy circumcision, hath become, uncircumcision |
|
| 26 If then, the uncircumcision, be guarding the righteous requirement of the law, shall not, his uncircumcision, as circumcision be reckoned?– |
|
| 27 And the uncircumcision by nature, completing the law, shall judge, thee, who, notwithstanding letter and circumcision, art a transgressor of law! |
|
| 28 For, not he who is one in appearance, is a Jew, nor is, that which is such in appearance in flesh, circumcision; |
|
| 29 But, he who is one in secret, is a Jew,–and, [that is], circumcision, which is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter,–whose, praise, is not of men, but of God. |
