ULT ROM Chapter 2

2 Therefore, you are without excuse, O man—everyone judging—for in that which you judge the other you condemn yourself; for you, the one judging practice the same things. 2 Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against the ones practicing such things. 3 But do you think this, O man, the one judging the ones practicing such things and you are doing the same things, that you will escape from the judgment of God? 4 Or do you scorn the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who will pay back to each one according to his deeds: 7 Indeed, eternal life to the ones, according to endurance of good work, seeking glory and honor and incorruptibility, 8 but to the ones from selfish ambition indeed being disobedient to the truth and becoming obedient to unrighteousness, wrath and anger. 9 Tribulation and distress will be on every soul of man that produces the evil, both to the Jew first and to the Greek. 10 But glory and honor and peace will be to everyone working the good, both to the Jew first and to the Greek. 11 For there is no favoritism with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and as many as have sinned with the law will be judged by the law. 13 For the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, the ones not having the law, do by nature the things of the law, they, not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, the thoughts between themselves both accusing or even defending them 16 on the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, through Christ Jesus.

17 But if you name yourself a Jew and rely upon the law and boast in God, 18 and know his will and approve of the things that are excellent, being instructed from the law; 19 and you have become confident that you are a guide to blind men, a light to the ones in darkness, 20 an instructor of foolish men, a teacher of little children, having in the law the form of the knowledge and of the truth, 21 then you, the one teaching another, do you not teach yourself? You, the one preaching not to steal, do you steal? 22 You, the one saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You, the one abhorring idols, do you rob temples? 23 You, who boast in the law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the law? 24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written. 25 For circumcision indeed benefits if you practice the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 If, then, the uncircumcision keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be considered as circumcision? 27 And the uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, will judge you who are, through letter and circumcision, a transgressor of the law! 28 For he is not a Jew who is one visibly, neither is this circumcision visible in the flesh, 29 but the Jew in secret is, and circumcision is of the heart in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose the praise is not from men but from God.
