Darby Bible

1ThereforeG1352 thou art inexcusable, O manG444, every oneG3739 who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the sameG846 thingsG3956. 2But we know that the judgmentG2917 of 1GodG2316 isG1510 accordingG2596 to truthG225 upon those who do suchG5108 thingsG5108. 3And thinkest thou this, O manG444, who judgest those that do suchG5108 thingsG3778, and practisest them [thyself], that thou shalt escapeG1628 the judgmentG2917 of 2GodG2316? 4or despisest thou the richesG4149 of his goodness, and forbearanceG463, and long-suffering, not knowingG50 that the goodness of 3GodG2316 leadsG71 thee to repentanceG3341? 5but, accordingG2596 to thy hardness and impenitent heartG2588, treasurest up to thyself wrathG3709, in [the] dayG2250 of wrathG3709 and revelationG602 of [the] righteous judgment of 4GodG2316, 6who shall renderG591 to each accordingG2596 to his worksG2041: 7to them who, in patientG5281 continuance of goodG18 worksG2041, seekG2212 for gloryG1391 and honour and incorruptibility, lifeG2222 eternalG166. 8But to those that are contentious, and are disobedientG544 to the truthG225, but obeyG3982 unrighteousnessG93, [there shall be] wrathG3709 and indignation, 9tribulationG2347 and distressG4730, on every soulG5590 of manG444 that works evilG2556, both of JewG2453 firstG4413, and of GreekG1672; 10but gloryG1391 and honour and peaceG1515 to every oneG3588 that works goodG18, both to JewG2453 firstG4413 and to GreekG1672: 11for there isG1510 no acceptance of persons with 5GodG2316. 12For as manyG3745 as have sinnedG264 without lawG3551 shall perishG622 alsoG2532 without lawG3551; and as manyG3745 as have sinnedG264 under lawG3551 shall be judgedG2919 by lawG3551, 13(for not the hearersG202 of the lawG3551 [are] justG1342 before 6GodG2316, but the doersG4163 of the lawG3551 shall be justifiedG1344. 14For whenG3752 [those of the] nationsG1484, which have no lawG3551, practise by natureG5449 the thingsG3778 of the lawG3551, these, having no lawG3551, areG1510 a lawG3551 to themselves; 15who shew the workG2041 of the lawG3551 written in their heartsG2588, their conscienceG4893 alsoG2532 bearingG4828 witnessG4828, and their thoughts accusingG2723 or else excusing themselves between themselves;) 16in [the] dayG2250 whenG3753 7GodG2316 shall judgeG2919 the secretsG2927 of menG444, accordingG2596 to my glad tidings, by JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 17But if thou art named a JewG2453, and restest in the lawG3551, and makest thy boastG2744 in 8GodG2316, 18and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are moreG1308 excellent, being instructedG2727 out of the lawG3551; 19and hast confidenceG3982 that thou thyself art a leader of the blindG5185, a lightG5457 of those who [areG1510] in darknessG4655, 20an instructor of the foolishG878, a teacherG1320 of babes, having the form of knowledgeG1108 and of truthG225 in the lawG3551: 21thou thenG3767 that teachest another, dost thou not teachG1321 thyself? thou that preachest not to stealG2813, dost thou stealG2813? 22thou that sayest [man should] not commitG3431 adulteryG3431, dost thou commitG3431 adulteryG3431? thou that abhorrest idolsG1497, dost thou commitG3431 sacrilege? 23thou who boastest in lawG3551, dost thou by transgressionG3847 of the lawG3551 dishonour 9GodG2316? 24For the nameG3686 of 10GodG2316 is blasphemedG987 on your accountG1223 among the nationsG1484, according as it is writtenG1125. 25For circumcisionG4061 indeedG1063 profitsG5623 if thou keep [the] lawG3551; but if thou beG1510 a law-transgressor, thy circumcisionG4061 isG1510 becomeG1096 uncircumcisionG203. 26If thereforeG3767 the uncircumcisionG203 keepG5442 the requirements of the lawG3551, shall not his uncircumcisionG203 be reckonedG3049 for circumcisionG4061, 27and uncircumcisionG203 by natureG5449, fulfilling the lawG3551, judgeG2919 thee, who, with letterG1121 and circumcisionG4061, [art] a law-transgressor? 28For he isG1510 not a JewG2453 who [isG1510] oneG3588 outwardly, neither that circumcisionG4061 which isG1510 outwardG5318 in fleshG4561; 29but he [is] a JewG2453 [who is so] inwardly; and circumcisionG4061, of the heartG2588, in spiritG4151, not in letterG1121; whose praiseG1868 [is] not of menG444, but of 11GodG2316.
