Romans 2 Bible text

ASV: 1ASV

Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things.

ASV: 2ASV

And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.

ASV: 3ASV

And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

ASV: 4ASV

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

ASV: 5ASV

but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

ASV: 6ASV

who will render to every man according to his works:

ASV: 7ASV

to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:

ASV: 8ASV

but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be wrath and indignation,

ASV: 9ASV

tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

ASV: 10ASV

but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

ASV: 11ASV

for there is no respect of persons with God.

ASV: 12ASV

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

ASV: 13ASV

for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;

ASV: 14ASV

(for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;

ASV: 15ASV

in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them);

ASV: 16ASV

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

ASV: 17ASV

But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

ASV: 18ASV

and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

ASV: 19ASV

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

ASV: 20ASV

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;

ASV: 21ASV

thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

ASV: 22ASV

thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?

ASV: 23ASV

thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?

ASV: 24ASV

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.

ASV: 25ASV

For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

ASV: 26ASV

If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?

ASV: 27ASV

and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?

ASV: 28ASV

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

ASV: 29ASV

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