罗马书 2

1Wherefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou dost the same things which thou judgest.

2For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things.

3And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and patience, and longsuffering? Knowest thou not, that the benignity of God leadeth thee to penance?

5But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou treasurest up to thyself wrath, against the day of wrath, and revelation of the just judgment of God.

6Who will render to every man according to his works.

7To them indeed, who according to patience in good work, seek glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life:

8But to them that are contentious, and who obey not the truth, but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation.

9Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.

10But glory, and honour, and peace to every one that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

11For there is no respect of persons with God.

12For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law.

13For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves:

15Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another,

16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

17But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

18And knowest his will, and approvest the more profitable things, being instructed by the law,

19Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

20An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.

21Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest not thyself: thou that preachest that men should not steal, stealest:

22Thou that sayest, men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege:

23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest God.

24(For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.)

25Circumcision profiteth indeed, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

26If, then, the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27And shall not that which by nature is uncircumcision, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?

28For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly; nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh:

29But he is a Jew, that is one inwardly; and the circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

1Propter quod inexcusabilis es, o homo omnis qui judicas. In quo enim judicas alterum, teipsum condemnas: eadem enim agis quæ judicas.

2Scimus enim quoniam judicium Dei est secundum veritatem in eos qui talia agunt.

3Existimas autem hoc, o homo, qui judicas eos qui talia agunt, et facis ea, quia tu effugies judicium Dei?

4an divitias bonitatis ejus, et patientiæ, et longanimitatis contemnis? ignoras quoniam benignitas Dei ad pœnitentiam te adducit?

5Secundum autem duritiam tuam, et impœnitens cor, thesaurizas tibi iram in die iræ, et revelationis justi judicii Dei,

6qui reddet unicuique secundum opera ejus:

7iis quidem qui secundum patientiam boni operis, gloriam, et honorem, et incorruptionem quærunt, vitam æternam:

8iis autem qui sunt ex contentione, et qui non acquiescunt veritati, credunt autem iniquitati, ira et indignatio.

9Tribulatio et angustia in omnem animam hominis operantis malum, Judæi primum, et Græci:

10gloria autem, et honor, et pax omni operanti bonum, Judæo primum, et Græco:

11non enim est acceptio personarum apud Deum.

12Quicumque enim sine lege peccaverunt, sine lege peribunt: et quicumque in lege peccaverunt, per legem judicabuntur.

13Non enim auditores legis justi sunt apud Deum, sed factores legis justificabuntur.

14Cum autem gentes, quæ legem non habent, naturaliter ea, quæ legis sunt, faciunt, ejusmodi legem non habentes, ipsi sibi sunt lex:

15qui ostendunt opus legis scriptum in cordibus suis, testimonium reddente illis conscientia ipsorum, et inter se invicem cogitationibus accusantibus, aut etiam defendentibus,

16in die, cum judicabit Deus occulta hominum, secundum Evangelium meum per Jesum Christum.

17Si autem tu Judæus cognominaris, et requiescis in lege, et gloriaris in Deo,

18et nosti voluntatem ejus, et probas utiliora, instructus per legem,

19confidis teipsum esse ducem cæcorum, lumen eorum qui in tenebris sunt,

20eruditorem insipientium, magistrum infantium, habentem formam scientiæ, et veritatis in lege.

21Qui ergo alium doces, teipsum non doces: qui prædicas non furandum, furaris:

22qui dicis non mœchandum, mœcharis: qui abominaris idola, sacrilegium facis:

23qui in lege gloriaris, per prævaricationem legis Deum inhonoras.

24(Nomen enim Dei per vos blasphematur inter gentes, sicut scriptum est.)

25Circumcisio quidem prodest, si legem observes: si autem prævaricator legis sis, circumcisio tua præputium facta est.

26Si igitur præputium justitias legis custodiat, nonne præputium illius in circumcisionem reputabitur?

27et judicabit id quod ex natura est præputium, legem consummans, te, qui per litteram et circumcisionem prævaricator legis es?

28Non enim qui in manifesto, Judæus est: neque quæ in manifesto, in carne, est circumcisio:

29sed qui in abscondito, Judæus est: et circumcisio cordis in spiritu, non littera: cujus laus non ex hominibus, sed ex Deo est.

1For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge.

2For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things.

3But, O man, when you judge those who do such things as you yourself also do, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God?

4Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and patience and forbearance? Do you not know that the kindness of God is calling you to repentance?

5But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God.

6For he will render to each one according to his works:

7To those who, in accord with patient good works, seek glory and honor and incorruption, certainly, he will render eternal life.

8But to those who are contentious and who do not acquiesce to the truth, but instead trust in iniquity, he will render wrath and indignation.

9Tribulation and anguish are upon every soul of man that works evil: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

10But glory and honor and peace are for all who do what is good: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

11For there is no favoritism with God.

12For whoever had sinned without the law, will perish without the law. And whoever had sinned in the law, will be judged by the law.

13For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but rather it is the doers of the law who shall be justified.

14For when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature those things which are of the law, such persons, not having the law, are a law unto themselves.

15For they reveal the work of the law written in their hearts, while their conscience renders testimony about them, and their thoughts within themselves also accuse or even defend them,

16unto the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, through Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

17But if you are called by name a Jew, and you rest upon the law, and you find glory in God,

18and you have known his will, and you demonstrate the more useful things, having been instructed by the law:

19you become confident within yourself that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20an instructor to the foolish, a teacher to children, because you have a type of knowledge and truth in the law.

21As a result, you teach others, but you do not teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, but you yourself steal.

22You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege.

23You would glory in the law, but through a betrayal of the law you dishonor God.

24(For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles, just as it was written.)

25Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

26And so, if the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this lack of circumcision be counted as circumcision?

27And that which is by nature uncircumcised, if it fulfills the law, should it not judge you, who by the letter and by circumcision are a betrayer of the law?

28For a Jew is not he who seems so outwardly. Neither is circumcision that which seems so outwardly, in the flesh.

29But a Jew is he who is so inwardly. And circumcision of the heart is in the spirit, not in the letter. For its praise is not of men, but of God.
