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. | <>v. 1, <>thou art inexcusable |
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. | <>the judgment of God is according to truth, <>the judgment of God |
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? | <>thinkest thou … that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?, <>escape |
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? | <>despisest, <>his goodness … the goodness of God, <>forbearance, <>longsuffering, <>the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance, <>to repentance |
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; | <>impenitent, <>against the day, <>the day of wrath, <>day of wrath |
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: | <>v. 6 |
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: | <>To them who by patient continuance in well doing … eternal life, <>patient, <>honour |
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, | <>the truth |
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; | |
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: | <>peace, <>worketh good |
11 For there is no respect of persons with God. | <>v. 11 |
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; | <>perish |
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. | <>v. 13, <>justified |
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: | |
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;) | <>the work of the law written in their hearts, <>accusing, <>excusing one another |
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. | <>God shall judge the secrets of men, <>God shall judge … by Jesus Christ, <>my gospel |
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, | <>thou art called a Jew, <>boast |
18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; | <>knowest his will, <>approvest the things that are more excellent, <>the things that are more excellent, <>being instructed out of the law, <>instructed |
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, | <>art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, <>confident, <>the blind, <>a light of them which are in darkness |
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. | <>An instructor of the foolish, <>a teacher of babes, <>hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law |
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? | <>vv. 21-23, <>teachest thou not thyself?, <>dost thou steal? |
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? | <>vv. 21-23, <>dost thou commit adultery, <>abhorrest, <>idols |
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? | <>vv. 21-23 |
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. | <>the name of God is blasphemed, <>it is written |
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. | <>circumcision … circumcision, <>verily, <>keep the law |
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? | <>the uncircumcision |
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? | <>transgress |
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: | <>vv. 28-29 |
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. | <>vv. 28-29, <>in the spirit, and not in the letter, <>whose praise is not of men, but of God |
