1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)

Romans 2

1 They that sin, though they condemn it in others, cannot excuse themselves, 6 and much less escape the judgments of God, 9 whether they be Jews or Gentiles. 14 The Gentiles cannot escape, 17 nor yet the Jews, 25 whom their circumcision shall not profit, if they keep not the Law.

 2:1 ¶ 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:

 2:2 We know, however, that, the sentence of God, is according to truth against them who, such things as these, do practise.

 2:3 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?

 2:4 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?

 2:5 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,—

 2:6 Who will render unto each one according to his works:—

 2:7 Unto them, on the one hand, who, by way of endurance in good work, are seeking, glory, honour and incorruption, life age-abiding,

 2:8 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,

 2:9 tribulation and anguish—against every soul of man who worketh out what is base, both of Jew first and of Greek,—

 2:10 But glory and honour and peace—unto every one who worketh what is good, both unto Jew first and unto Greek:

 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God;—

 2:12 For, as many as without law sinned, without law, also shall perish, and, as many as within law sinned, through law, shall be judged;

 2:13 For, not the hearers of law, are righteous with God, but, the doers of law, shall be declared righteous;

 2:14 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,—

 2:15 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:—

 2:16 In the day on which God judgeth the secrets of men according to my glad-message through Christ Jesus.

 2:17 ¶ If, however, thou, art taking the name of Jew, and resting thyself upon law, and boasting in God,

 2:18 And art taking note of his will, and testing the things that differ—when receiving oral instruction out of the law,

 2:19 Art persuaded, moreover, that, thou thyself, art—a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

 2:20 A trainer of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the forming of knowledge and truth in the law,—

 2:21 Thou, therefore, that art teaching someone else, thyself, art thou not teaching? Thou that proclaimest—Do not steal! Art thou, stealing?

 2:22 That sayest—Do not commit adultery! Art thou, committing adultery? That abhorrest sacrilege, Art thou, robbing temples?

 2:23 That in law dost boast, Through the transgression of the law, art thou dishonouring God?

 2:24 For the name of God, because of you, is defamed among the nations,—even as it is written.

 2:25 For, circumcision, indeed, profiteth—if, law, thou be practising; but, if thou be a transgressor of law, thy circumcision, hath become, uncircumcision

 2:26 If then, the uncircumcision, be guarding the righteous requirement of the law, shall not, his uncircumcision, as circumcision be reckoned?—

 2:27 And the uncircumcision by nature, completing the law, shall judge, thee, who, notwithstanding letter and circumcision, art a transgressor of law!

 2:28 For, not he who is one in appearance, is a Jew, nor is, that which is such in appearance in flesh, circumcision;

 2:29 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.
