Romans 罗马书_Ro_02

1You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment 1 on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning 3 yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

2Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

3So when you, a mere 4 man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment?

4Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance 5 and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance 6?

5But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath 7 against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.

6God "will give to each person according to what he has done."

7To those who by persistence 8 in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality 9, he will give eternal life.

8But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

9There will be trouble and distress 10 for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;

10but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

11For God does not show favoritism.

12All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

13For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law,

15since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.)

16This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

17Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag 11 about your relationship to God;

18if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

19if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark,

20an instructor 12 of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--

21you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

22You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor 13 idols 14, do you rob temples?

23You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

24As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

25Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.

26If those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?

27The one who is not circumcised physically 15 and yet obeys the law will condemn 2 you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

28A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.

29No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.
