The Concordant Version

Chapter 2 (CV)

¹ Wherefore, defenseless are you, O man! everyone who is judging, for in what you are judging another, you are condemning yourself, for you who are judging are committing the same things.
² Now we are aware that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who are committing such things.
³ Yet are you reckoning on this, O man, who art judging those committing such things, and art doing the same, that you will be escaping the judgment of God?
⁴ Or are you despising the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, being ignorant that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?
⁵ Yet, in accord with your hardness and unrepentant heart you are hoarding for yourself indignation in the day of indignation and revelation of the just judgment of God,
⁶ Who will be paying each one in accord with his acts:
⁷ to those, indeed, who by endurance in good acts are seeking glory and honor and incorruption, life eonian;
⁸ yet to those of faction and stubborn, indeed, as to the truth, yet persuaded to injustice, indignation and fury,
⁹ affliction and distress, on every human soul which is effecting evil, both of the Jew first and of the Greek,
¹⁰ yet glory and honor and peace to every worker of good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
¹¹ For there is no partiality with God,
¹² for whoever sinned without the law, without law also shall perish, and whoever sinned in law, through law will be judged.
¹³ For not the listeners to law are just with God, but the doers of law shall be justified.
¹⁴ For whenever they of the nations that have no law, by nature may be doing that which the law demands, these, having no law, are a law to themselves,
¹⁵ who are displaying the action of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying together and their reckonings between one another, accusing or defending them,
¹⁶ in the day when God will be judging the hidden things of humanity, according to my evangel, through Jesus Christ.
¹⁷ Lo! you are being denominated a Jew, and are resting on law, and are boasting in God,
¹⁸ and know the will, and are testing what things are of consequence, being instructed out of the law.
¹⁹ Besides, you have confidence in yourself to be a guide of the blind, a light of those in darkness,
²⁰ a discipliner of the imprudent, a teacher of minors, having the form of knowledge and the truth in the law.
²¹ You, then, who are teaching another, you are not teaching yourself! who are heralding not to be stealing, you are stealing!
²² who are saying not to be committing adultery, you are committing adultery! who are abominating idols, you are despoiling the sanctuary!
²³ who are boasting in a law, through the transgression of the law you are dishonoring God!
²⁴ For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the nations, according as it is written.
²⁵ For circumcision, indeed, is benefiting if you should be putting law into practice, yet if you should be a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
²⁶ If the Uncircumcision, then, should be maintaining the just requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?
²⁷ And the Uncircumcision who, by nature, are discharging the law's demands, shall be judging you, who through letter and circumcision, are a transgressor of law.
²⁸ For not that which is apparent is the Jew, nor yet that which is apparent in flesh is circumcision;
²⁹ but that which is hidden is the Jew, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, whose applause is not of men, but of God.

Chapter 2 (KJV)

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.
² But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
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?
⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee 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;
⁶ Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
⁷ To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
⁸ But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
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:
¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.
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;
¹³ (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be 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;)
¹⁶ In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
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 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?
²² Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
²³ Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as 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.
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 circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
