Bible Text  (Scroll to Verse)  [Copy]

1 Therefore, every person who passes judgment is without excuse: When you judge someone, you condemn yourself because while you are judging, you are carrying out the same things.
2 But we know the judgment of God is based on the truth against those who commit such things.
3 But do you think, O human, that judges those who do such things but carry out the same things, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4 Or do you despise the abundance of His kindness and tolerance and patience; not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance?
5 But based on your stubborn and unrepentant heart, you are accumulating for yourself vengeance [orge] towards the day of vengeance [orge] and the unveiling of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will reward everyone based on their actions:
7 To those who truly through consistently carrying out what is good, are looking for glory and honor and purity, eternal [zoe] life:
8 But to the self-seeking, who are refusing the truth, but trust in unrighteousness, both explosive [thumos] and implosive [orge] anger,
9 Pressure and restriction upon every living person who is carrying out bad things, not only on the Jews but also on the Gentiles
10 But glory, honor, and peace, to every person who does what is good, not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles
11 For there is no favoritism with God.
12 Whoever sinned not knowing the law will also be destroyed without the law: and whoever sinned under the law will be judged by the law;
13 (For it is not the hearers of the law that are right before God, but those who obey the law will be considered right.
14 When the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law to themselves:
15 Who display the deeds of the law that is written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or making excuses for themselves.
 - SELF JUSTIFICATION
16 On the day when God judges the secrets of humanity via Jesus Christ based on my gospel.
17 So you were called as a Jew, and remain fixed on the law, and make your boast in God,
18 You have grasped what He desires, and approve [dokimazo] better things, having been instructed by the law;
 - DOKIMAZO - TEST
19 And have been fully convinced that you are a leader of the blind, a light for those who are in darkness,
20 A mentor to the ignorant, a discipler of minors, who have the appearance of knowledge and truth in the law.
21 Therefore, you who are teaching others, are you also teaching yourself? You who are preaching that a person should not steal, do you steal?
22 You who says a person should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you who shuns idols, do you rob shrines?
23 You that boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
24 For the name of God is slandered among the Gentiles through you, as it was written.
25 Circumcision really is an advantage if you keep the law, but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 Therefore, if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, will not their uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
27 And will not uncircumcision, which is natural, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the written law and circumcision break the law?
28 For a person is not a Jew, who is this outwardly; neither is circumcision what is outward in the flesh:
29 But a Jew is one inwardly; and circumcision is from the heart, in the spirit, not based on the written law; whose commendation does not come from people, but from God.
