The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans

 1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou ^ajudgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

 2 But we ^aare sure that the ^bjudgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that ^ajudgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the ^bjudgment of God?

 4 Or despisest thou the ^ariches of his ^bgoodness and ^cforbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

 5 But ^aafter thy ^bhardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

 6 Who will ^arender to every man ^baccording to his ^cdeeds:

 7 To them who by ^apatient ^bcontinuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and ^cimmortality, eternal life:

 8 But unto them that are ^acontentious, and do not ^bobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, ^cindignation and wrath,

 9 ^aTribulation and ^banguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the ^cGentile;

 10 But glory, honour, and ^apeace, to every man that ^bworketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the ^cGentile:

 11 For there is no ^arespect of ^bpersons with God.

 12 For as many as have sinned without ^alaw 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 God, but the ^adoers of the law shall be ^bjustified.

 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 ^aWhich shew the work of the ^blaw written in their hearts, their ^cconscience also bearing ^dwitness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

 16 In the day when God shall ^ajudge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my ^bgospel.

 17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

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

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

 20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the ^aform of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

 21 Thou therefore which teachest another, ^ateachest thou not thyself? thou that ^bpreachest a man should not ^csteal, dost thou steal?

 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit ^aadultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou ^bcommit ^csacrilege?

 23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

 24 For the name of God is ^ablasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

 25 For ^acircumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

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

 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?

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

 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and ^acircumcision is that of the heart, in the ^bspirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
