Holy Name KJV - 1769 King James Version

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 ¶ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

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

 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

 2:17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

 2:18 And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

 2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

 2:23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

 2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

 2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

 2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

 2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
