¹ Wherefore, inexcusable, thou art, O man, whoever judgest; for, wherein thou judgest some one else, thyself, thou dost condemn, - for, the very things, thou dost practise, who art judging:² We know, however, that, the sentence of God, is according to truth against them who, such things as these, do practise.³ And reckonest thou this, O man - who dost judge them who such things do practise, and yet art doing the same, that, thou, shalt escape the sentence of God?⁴ Or, the riches of his kindness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise, - not knowing that, the kindness of God, unto repentance, is leading thee?⁵ But, according to thy hardness, and thine impenitent heart, art treasuring up for thyself anger, in a day of anger and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, - ⁶ Who will render unto each one according to his works: - ⁷ Unto them, on the one hand, who, by way of endurance in good work, are seeking, glory, honour and incorruption, life age-abiding,⁸ Unto them, on the other hand, who are of contention, and are not yielding unto the truth, but are yielding unto unrighteousness, anger and wrath,⁹ tribulation and anguish - against every soul of man who worketh out what is base, both of Jew first and of Greek, - ¹⁰ But glory and honour and peace - unto every one who worketh what is good, both unto Jew first and unto Greek:¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God; - ¹² For, as many as without law sinned, without law, also shall perish, and, as many as within law sinned, through law, shall be judged;¹³ For, not the hearers of law, are righteous with God, but, the doers of law, shall be declared righteous;¹⁴ For, whensoever the nations which have not law, by nature, the things of the law, may be doing, the same, not having law, unto themselves, are a law, - ¹⁵ Who, indeed, shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience therewith bearing witness, and, between one another, their reasonings accusing - or, even excusing, them: - ¹⁶ In the day on which God judgeth the secrets of men according to my glad-message through Christ Jesus.

¹⁷ If, however, thou, art taking the name of Jew, and resting thyself upon law, and boasting in God,¹⁸ And art taking note of his will, and testing the things that differ - when receiving oral instruction out of the law,¹⁹ Art persuaded, moreover, that, thou thyself, art - a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,²⁰ A trainer of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the forming of knowledge and truth in the law, - ²¹ Thou, therefore, that art teaching someone else, thyself, art thou not teaching? Thou that proclaimest - Do not steal! Art thou, stealing?²² That sayest - Do not commit adultery! Art thou, committing adultery? That abhorrest sacrilege, Art thou, robbing temples?²³ That in law dost boast, Through the transgression of the law, art thou dishonouring God?²⁴ For the name of God, because of you, is defamed among the nations, - even as it is written.²⁵ For, circumcision, indeed, profiteth - if, law, thou be practising; but, if thou be a transgressor of law, thy circumcision, hath become, uncircumcision²⁶ If then, the uncircumcision, be guarding the righteous requirement of the law, shall not, his uncircumcision, as circumcision be reckoned? - ²⁷ And the uncircumcision by nature, completing the law, shall judge, thee, who, notwithstanding letter and circumcision, art a transgressor of law!²⁸ For, not he who is one in appearance, is a Jew, nor is, that which is such in appearance in flesh, circumcision;²⁹ But, he who is one in secret, is a Jew, - and, that is , circumcision, which is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, - whose, praise, is not of men, but of God.
