1Therefore you are without excuse, every person who judges. For in judging another, you condemn yourself, because you who judge do the same things.
2But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3But do you think this, human being who judges those who do such things and does them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
5But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
6who will repay each one according to his works;
7To those who by patient endurance in doing good seek glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life.
8but for those who are contentious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there is wrath and anger,
9Tribulation and distress upon every human soul who does evil, both Jew first and Greek.
10But glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
11For God shows no partiality.
12For all who sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13For not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.
14For when Gentiles who do not have the law by nature do the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves.
15who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness with them, and between themselves the thoughts accusing or even defending,
16on the day when God will judge the hidden things of people according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.
17But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God
18and you know the will and approve the things that differ, being instructed out of the law,
19You are confident that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those in darkness,
20an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law—
21So the one who teaches another, do you not teach yourself? The one who proclaims do not steal, do you steal?
22The one who says Do not commit adultery commits adultery? The one who detests idols steals them?
23You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the law?
24For the name of God is blasphemed because of you among the nations, as it is written.
25For circumcision is beneficial if you keep the law; but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26If then the uncircumcision keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
27And the uncircumcision by nature will judge you who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.
28For not the one who is a Jew outwardly is a Jew, nor is circumcision outward in the flesh;
29But the Jew in the secret is one, and circumcision is of the heart in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not from people but from God.
