Romans 2 : 1 (ESV)

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.

Romans 2 : 2 (ESV)

We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who do such things.

Romans 2 : 3 (ESV)

Do you suppose, O man- you who judge those who do such things and yet do them yourself- that you will escape the judgment of God?

Romans 2 : 4 (ESV)

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?

Romans 2 : 5 (ESV)

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.

Romans 2 : 6 (ESV)

He will render to each one according to his works:

Romans 2 : 7 (ESV)

to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;

Romans 2 : 8 (ESV)

but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.

Romans 2 : 9 (ESV)

There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,

Romans 2 : 10 (ESV)

but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.

Romans 2 : 11 (ESV)

For God shows no partiality.

Romans 2 : 12 (ESV)

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.

Romans 2 : 13 (ESV)

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

Romans 2 : 14 (ESV)

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.

Romans 2 : 15 (ESV)

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

Romans 2 : 16 (ESV)

on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

Romans 2 : 17 (ESV)

But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God

Romans 2 : 18 (ESV)

and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law;

Romans 2 : 19 (ESV)

and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

Romans 2 : 20 (ESV)

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth-

Romans 2 : 21 (ESV)

you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal?

Romans 2 : 22 (ESV)

You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

Romans 2 : 23 (ESV)

You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law.

Romans 2 : 24 (ESV)

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

Romans 2 : 25 (ESV)

For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

Romans 2 : 26 (ESV)

So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

Romans 2 : 27 (ESV)

Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law.

Romans 2 : 28 (ESV)

For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.

Romans 2 : 29 (ESV)

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.
