           HEREFORE 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 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 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 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 is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he 
          is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the 
          heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of 
          men, but of God.   | ΠΡΟΣ ΡΩΜΑΙΟΥΣ 
        - 2 1 Διὸ ἀναπολόγητος εἶ, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, πᾶς ὁ κρίνων· ἐν ᾧ γὰρ κρίνεις τὸν ἕτερον, σεαυτὸν κατακρίνεις· τὰ γὰρ αὐτὰ πράσσεις ὁ κρίνων. 2 οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι τὸ κρῖμα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστι κατὰ ἀλήθειαν ἐπὶ τοὺς τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας. 3 λογίζῃ δὲ τοῦτο, ὦ ἄνθρωπε ὁ κρίνων τοὺς τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας καὶ ποιῶν αὐτά, ὅτι σὺ ἐκφεύξῃ τὸ κρῖμα τοῦ Θεοῦ; 4 ἢ τοῦ πλούτου τῆς χρηστότητος αὐτοῦ καὶ τῆς ἀνοχῆς καὶ τῆς μακροθυμίας καταφρονεῖς, ἀγνοῶν ὅτι τὸ χρηστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς μετάνοιάν σε ἄγει; 5 κατὰ δὲ τὴν σκληρότητά σου καὶ ἀμετανόητον καρδίαν θησαυρίζεις σεαυτῷ ὀργὴν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως καὶ δικαιοκρισίας τοῦ Θεοῦ, 6 ὃς ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, 7 τοῖς μὲν καθ᾿ ὑπομονὴν ἔργου ἀγαθοῦ δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν ζητοῦσι ζωὴν αἰώνιον, 8 τοῖς δὲ ἐξ ἐριθείας, καὶ ἀπειθοῦσι μὲν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, πειθομένοις δὲ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ, θυμὸς καὶ ὀργή· 9 θλῖψις καὶ στενοχωρία ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ψυχὴν ἀνθρώπου τοῦ κατεργαζομένου τὸ κακόν, Ἰουδαίου τε πρῶτον καὶ ῞Ελληνος· 10 δόξα δὲ καὶ τιμὴ καὶ εἰρήνη παντὶ τῷ ἐργαζομένῳ τὸ ἀγαθόν, Ἰουδαίῳ τε πρῶτον καὶ ῞Ελληνι· 11 οὐ γάρ ἐστι προσωποληψία παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ. 12 ὅσοι γὰρ ἀνόμως ἥμαρτον, ἀνόμως καὶ ἀπολοῦνται· καὶ ὅσοι ἐν νόμῳ ἥμαρτον, διὰ νόμου κριθήσονται. 13 οὐ γὰρ οἱ ἀκροαταὶ τοῦ νόμου δίκαιοι παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ, ἀλλ᾿ οἱ ποιηταὶ τοῦ νόμου δικαιωθήσονται. 14 ὅταν γὰρ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ νόμον ἔχοντα φύσει τὰ τοῦ νόμου ποιῇ, οὗτοι νόμον μὴ ἔχοντες ἑαυτοῖς εἰσι νόμος, 15 οἵτινες ἐνδείκνυνται τὸ ἔργον τοῦ νόμου γραπτὸν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν, συμμαρτυρούσης αὐτῶν τῆς συνειδήσεως καὶ μεταξὺ ἀλλήλων τῶν λογισμῶν κατηγορούντων ἢ καὶ ἀπολογουμένων 16 ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὅτε κρινεῖ ὁ Θεὸς τὰ κρυπτὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν μου διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
17 Ἴδε σὺ Ἰουδαῖος ἐπονομάζῃ, καὶ ἐπαναπαύῃ τῷ νόμῳ, καὶ καυχᾶσαι ἐν Θεῷ, 18 καὶ γινώσκεις τὸ θέλημα, καὶ δοκιμάζεις τὰ διαφέροντα, κατηχούμενος ἐκ τοῦ νόμου, 19 πέποιθάς τε σεαυτὸν ὁδηγὸν εἶναι τυφλῶν, φῶς τῶν ἐν σκότει, 20 παιδευτὴν ἀφρόνων, διδάσκαλον νηπίων, ἔχοντα τὴν μόρφωσιν τῆς γνώσεως καὶ τῆς ἀληθείας ἐν τῷ νόμῳ. 21 ὁ οὖν διδάσκων ἕτερον σεαυτὸν οὐ διδάσκεις; ὁ κηρύσσων μὴ κλέπτειν κλέπτεις; 22 ὁ λέγων μὴ μοιχεύειν μοιχεύεις; ὁ βδελυσσόμενος τὰ εἴδωλα ἱεροσυλεῖς; 23 ὃς ἐν νόμῳ καυχᾶσαι, διὰ τῆς παραβάσεως τοῦ νόμου τὸν Θεὸν ἀτιμάζεις; 24 τὸ γὰρ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ δι᾿ ὑμᾶς βλασφημεῖται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καθὼς γέγραπται. 25 περιτομὴ μὲν γὰρ ὠφελεῖ, ἐὰν νόμον πράσσῃς· ἐὰν δὲ παραβάτης νόμου ᾖς, ἡ περιτομή σου ἀκροβυστία γέγονεν. 26 ἐὰν οὖν ἡ ἀκροβυστία τὰ δικαιώματα τοῦ νόμου φυλάσσῃ, οὐχὶ ἡ ἀκροβυστία αὐτοῦ εἰς περιτομὴν λογισθήσεται; 27 καὶ κρινεῖ ἡ ἐκ φύσεως ἀκροβυστία, τὸν νόμον τελοῦσα, σὲ τὸν διὰ γράμματος καὶ περιτομῆς παραβάτην νόμου. 28 οὐ γὰρ ὁ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ Ἰουδαῖός ἐστιν, οὐδὲ ἡ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ ἐν σαρκὶ περιτομή, 29 ἀλλ᾿ ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ Ἰουδαῖος, καὶ περιτομὴ καρδίας ἐν πνεύματι, οὐ γράμματι, οὗ ὁ ἔπαινος οὐκ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, ἀλλ᾿ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
