Romans 2:7-25
-
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.
