Romans 2:12-24

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 1GodG2316, 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 2GodG2316 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 3GodG2316,

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 4GodG2316?

24For the nameG3686 of 5GodG2316 is blasphemedG987 on your accountG1223 among the nationsG1484, according as it is writtenG1125.
