| 2:1 | Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:2 | We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:3 | Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:4 | Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:5 | But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:6 | He will render to each one according to his works: | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:7 | to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:8 | but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:9 | There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:10 | but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:11 | For God shows no partiality. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:12 | For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:13 | For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:14 | For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:15 | They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:16 | on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. | S3 · 2:1-16 |
| 2:17 | But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:18 | and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:19 | and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:20 | an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:21 | you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:22 | You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:23 | You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law. | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:24 | For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:25 | For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:26 | So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:27 | Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:28 | For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
| 2:29 | But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God. | S4 · 2:17-3:8 |
