Διὸ ἀναπολόγητος εἶ ὦ ἄνθρωπε πᾶς ὁ κρίνων ἐν ᾧ γὰρ κρίνεις τὸν ἕτερον σεαυτὸν κατακρίνεις τὰ γὰρ αὐτὰ πράσσεις ὁ κρίνων |
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. |
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 |
οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν κατὰ ἀλήθειαν ἐπὶ τοὺς τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας |
And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. |
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. |
|
| 3 |
λογίζῃ δὲ τοῦτο ὦ ἄνθρωπε ὁ κρίνων τοὺς τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας καὶ ποιῶν αὐτά ὅτι σὺ ἐκφεύξῃ τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ |
So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? |
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 |
ἢ τοῦ πλούτου τῆς χρηστότητος αὐτοῦ καὶ τῆς ἀνοχῆς καὶ τῆς μακροθυμίας καταφρονεῖς ἀγνοῶν ὅτι τὸ χρηστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς μετάνοιάν σε ἄγει |
Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? |
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
|
| 5 |
Κατὰ δὲ τὴν σκληρότητά σου καὶ ἀμετανόητον καρδίαν θησαυρίζεις σεαυτῷ ὀργὴν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως δικαιοκρισίας τοῦ Θεοῦ |
But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. |
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 |
ὃς Ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ |
God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” |
Who will render to every man according to his deeds: |
|
| 7 |
τοῖς μὲν καθ’ ὑπομονὴν ἔργου ἀγαθοῦ δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν ζητοῦσιν ζωὴν αἰώνιον |
To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. |
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: |
|
| 8 |
τοῖς δὲ ἐξ ἐριθείας καὶ ἀπειθοῦσι τῇ ἀληθείᾳ πειθομένοις δὲ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ ὀργὴ καὶ θυμός |
But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger. |
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, |
|
| 9 |
θλῖψις καὶ στενοχωρία ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ψυχὴν ἀνθρώπου τοῦ κατεργαζομένου τὸ κακόν Ἰουδαίου τε πρῶτον καὶ Ἕλληνος |
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; |
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; |
|
| 10 |
δόξα δὲ καὶ τιμὴ καὶ εἰρήνη παντὶ τῷ ἐργαζομένῳ τὸ ἀγαθόν Ἰουδαίῳ τε πρῶτον καὶ Ἕλληνι |
but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. |
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: |
|
| 11 |
οὐ γάρ ἐστιν προσωπολημψία παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ |
For God does not show favoritism. |
For there is no respect of persons with God. |
|
| 12 |
Ὅσοι γὰρ ἀνόμως ἥμαρτον ἀνόμως καὶ ἀπολοῦνται καὶ ὅσοι ἐν νόμῳ ἥμαρτον διὰ νόμου κριθήσονται |
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. |
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 |
οὐ γὰρ οἱ ἀκροαταὶ νόμου δίκαιοι παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ ἀλλ’ οἱ ποιηταὶ νόμου δικαιωθήσονται |
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous. |
(For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. |
|
| 14 |
Ὅταν γὰρ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ νόμον ἔχοντα φύσει τὰ τοῦ νόμου ποιῶσιν οὗτοι νόμον μὴ ἔχοντες ἑαυτοῖς εἰσιν νόμος |
Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. |
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 |
οἵτινες ἐνδείκνυνται τὸ ἔργον τοῦ νόμου γραπτὸν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν συμμαρτυρούσης αὐτῶν τῆς συνειδήσεως καὶ μεταξὺ ἀλλήλων τῶν λογισμῶν κατηγορούντων ἢ καὶ ἀπολογουμένων |
So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them |
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 |
ἐν 〈ᾗ〉 ἡμέρᾳ ‹ὅτε› κρίνει ὁ Θεὸς τὰ κρυπτὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν μου διὰ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ |
on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel. |
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. |
|
| 17 |
Εἰ δὲ σὺ Ἰουδαῖος ἐπονομάζῃ καὶ ἐπαναπαύῃ νόμῳ καὶ καυχᾶσαι ἐν Θεῷ |
Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God; |
Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, |
|
| 18 |
καὶ γινώσκεις τὸ θέλημα καὶ δοκιμάζεις τὰ διαφέροντα κατηχούμενος ἐκ τοῦ νόμου |
if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; |
And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; |
|
| 19 |
πέποιθάς τε σεαυτὸν ὁδηγὸν εἶναι τυφλῶν φῶς τῶν ἐν σκότει |
if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness, |
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, |
|
| 20 |
παιδευτὴν ἀφρόνων διδάσκαλον νηπίων ἔχοντα τὴν μόρφωσιν τῆς γνώσεως καὶ τῆς ἀληθείας ἐν τῷ νόμῳ |
an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— |
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. |
|
| 21 |
ὁ οὖν διδάσκων ἕτερον σεαυτὸν οὐ διδάσκεις ὁ κηρύσσων μὴ κλέπτειν κλέπτεις |
you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? |
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
|
| 22 |
ὁ λέγων μὴ μοιχεύειν μοιχεύεις ὁ βδελυσσόμενος τὰ εἴδωλα ἱεροσυλεῖς |
You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? |
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? |
|
| 23 |
ὃς ἐν νόμῳ καυχᾶσαι διὰ τῆς παραβάσεως τοῦ νόμου τὸν Θεὸν ἀτιμάζεις |
You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? |
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? |
|
| 24 |
τὸ γὰρ Ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ δι’ ὑμᾶς βλασφημεῖται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καθὼς γέγραπται |
As it is written: “ God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” |
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. |
|
| 25 |
Περιτομὴ μὲν γὰρ ὠφελεῖ ἐὰν νόμον πράσσῃς ἐὰν δὲ παραβάτης νόμου ᾖς ἡ περιτομή σου ἀκροβυστία γέγονεν |
Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. |
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. |
|
| 26 |
ἐὰν οὖν ἡ ἀκροβυστία τὰ δικαιώματα τοῦ νόμου φυλάσσῃ οὐχ ἡ ἀκροβυστία αὐτοῦ εἰς περιτομὴν λογισθήσεται |
If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? |
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? |
|
| 27 |
καὶ κρινεῖ ἡ ἐκ φύσεως ἀκροβυστία τὸν νόμον τελοῦσα σὲ τὸν διὰ γράμματος καὶ περιτομῆς παραβάτην νόμου |
The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. |
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 |
Οὐ γὰρ ὁ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ Ἰουδαῖός ἐστιν οὐδὲ ἡ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ ἐν σαρκὶ περιτομή |
A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical. |
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: |
|
| 29 |
ἀλλ’ ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ Ἰουδαῖος καὶ περιτομὴ καρδίας ἐν πνεύματι οὐ γράμματι οὗ ὁ ἔπαινος οὐκ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἀλλ’ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ |
No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God. |
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. |
