Romans 2 : 1 (HCSB)

Therefore, anyone of you who judges is without excuse. For when you judge another, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the same things.

Romans 2 : 2 (HCSB)

We know that God's judgment on those who do such things is based on the truth.

Romans 2 : 3 (HCSB)

Do you really think-- anyone of you who judges those who do such things yet do the same-- that you will escape God's judgment?

Romans 2 : 4 (HCSB)

Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

Romans 2 : 5 (HCSB)

But because of your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment is revealed.

Romans 2 : 6 (HCSB)

He will repay each one according to his works:

Romans 2 : 7 (HCSB)

eternal life to those who by patiently doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;

Romans 2 : 8 (HCSB)

but wrath and indignation to those who are self-seeking and disobey the truth, but are obeying unrighteousness;

Romans 2 : 9 (HCSB)

affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek;

Romans 2 : 10 (HCSB)

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

Romans 2 : 11 (HCSB)

There is no favoritism with God.

Romans 2 : 12 (HCSB)

All those who sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all those who sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

Romans 2 : 13 (HCSB)

For the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be declared righteous.

Romans 2 : 14 (HCSB)

So, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, instinctively do what the law demands, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law.

Romans 2 : 15 (HCSB)

They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts. Their consciences testify in support of this, and their competing thoughts either accuse or excuse them

Romans 2 : 16 (HCSB)

on the day when God judges what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.

Romans 2 : 17 (HCSB)

Now if you call yourself a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God,

Romans 2 : 18 (HCSB)

and know His will, and approve the things that are superior, being instructed from the law,

Romans 2 : 19 (HCSB)

and are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light to those in darkness,

Romans 2 : 20 (HCSB)

an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of the immature, having in the law the full expression of knowledge and truth--

Romans 2 : 21 (HCSB)

you then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach, "You must not steal"-- do you steal?

Romans 2 : 22 (HCSB)

You who say, "You must not commit adultery"-- do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob their temples?

Romans 2 : 23 (HCSB)

You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

Romans 2 : 24 (HCSB)

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

Romans 2 : 25 (HCSB)

For circumcision benefits you if you observe the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Romans 2 : 26 (HCSB)

Therefore if an uncircumcised man keeps the law's requirements, will his uncircumcision not be counted as circumcision?

Romans 2 : 27 (HCSB)

A man who is physically uncircumcised, but who fulfills the law, will judge you who are a lawbreaker in spite of having the letter *of the law and circumcision.

Romans 2 : 28 (HCSB)

For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and *true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh.

Romans 2 : 29 (HCSB)

On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart-- by the Spirit, not the letter. His praise is not from men but from God.
