Romans 2 — Chapter 2

Romans · Restored Names Edition

1Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are that judge: for wherein you judge another, you condemnest thyself; for you that judge do the same things.

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

3And thinkest you this, O man, that judge them which do such things, and do the same, that you shall escape the judgment of Elohim (God)?

4Or despisest you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of Elohim (God) leads you to repentance?

5But after your hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of Elohim (God);

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

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

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

9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Yahudi (Jew) first, and also of the Gentile;

10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Yahudi (Jew) first, and also to the Gentile:

11For there is no respect of persons with Elohim (God).

12For 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;

13(For not the hearers of the law are just before Elohim (God), but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14For 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:

15Which 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;)

16In the day when Elohim (God) shall judge the secrets of men by Yahusha HaMashiach (Jesus Christ) according to my gospel.

17Behold, you are called a Yahudi (Jew), and restest in the law, and make your boast of Elohim (God),

18And know his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

19And are confident that you thyself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

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

21You therefore which teach another, teach you not thyself? you that preachest a man should not steal, do you steal?

22You that say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you that abhorrest idols, do you commit sacrilege?

23You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest you Elohim (God)?

24For the name of Elohim (God) is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

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

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

27And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the law?

28For he is not a Yahudi (Jew), which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29But he is a Yahudi (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 Elohim (God).
