Romans - Chapter 2 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
  • 3. 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?
  • 4. Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
  • 5. 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;
  • 6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
  • 7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
  • 8. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
  • 9. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
  • 10. But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
  • 11. For there is no respect of persons with God.
  • 12. 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;
  • 13. (For not the hearers of the law {cf15I are} just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
  • 14. 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:
  • 15. Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and {cf15I their} thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
  • 16. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
  • 17. Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
  • 18. And knowest {cf15I his} will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
  • 19. And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
  • 20. An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
  • 21. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
  • 22. Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
  • 23. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
  • 24. For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
  • 25. For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
  • 26. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
  • 27. 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?
  • 28. For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither {cf15I is that} circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
  • 29. But he {cf15I is} a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision {cf15I is that} of the heart, in the spirit, {cf15I and} not in the letter; whose praise {cf15I is} not of men, but of God.
