The Impartiality of God |
|
|
 |
|
Romans 2:1
|
|
Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you
who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself;
for you who judge practice the same things. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:2
|
|
And we know that the judgment of God rightly
falls upon those who practice such things. |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 2:3
|
|
But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass
judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you
will escape the judgment of God? |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 2:4
|
|
Or do you think lightly of the riches of His
kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads
you to repentance? |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 2:5
|
|
But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant
heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation
of the righteous judgment of God, |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 2:6
|
|
who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO
HIS DEEDS: |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 2:7
|
|
to those who by perseverance in doing good seek
for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:8
|
|
but to those who are selfishly ambitious and
do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:9
|
|
There will be tribulation and distress for every
soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:10
|
|
but glory and honor and peace to everyone who
does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:11
|
|
For there is no partiality with God. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:12
|
|
For all who have sinned without the Law will
also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged
by the Law; |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:13
|
|
for it is not the hearers of the Law who are
just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:14
|
|
For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do
instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:15
|
|
in that they show the work of the Law written
in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately
accusing or else defending them, |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:16
|
|
on the day when, according to my gospel, God
will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The Jew Is Condemned by the Law |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:17
|
|
But if you bear the name "Jew" and rely upon
the Law and boast in God, |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:18
|
|
and know His will and approve the things that
are essential, being instructed out of the Law, |
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:19
|
|
and are confident that you yourself are a guide
to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 2:20
|
|
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the
immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth, |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 2:21
|
|
you, therefore, who teach another, do you not
teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal? |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:22
|
|
You who say that one should not commit adultery,
do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:23
|
|
You who boast in the Law, through your breaking
the Law, do you dishonor God? |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:24
|
|
For "THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE
GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU," just as it is written. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:25
|
|
For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice
the Law; but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become
uncircumcision. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:26
|
|
So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements
of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:27
|
|
And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he
keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and
circumcision are a transgressor of the Law? |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:28
|
|
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor
is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 2:29
|
|
But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision
is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise
is not from men, but from God. |
