New Testament

Romans 2:8-25 English Revised Version (ERV)

8. but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be wrath and indignation,

9. tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

10. but glory and honour and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

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 under law shall be judged by law;

13. for not the hearers of a law are just before God, but the doers of a law shall be justified:

14. for when Gentiles which have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law unto themselves;

15. in that they shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them;

16. in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

17. But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

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

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

20. a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;

21. thou therefore that 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 rob temples?

23. thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonourest thou God?

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

25. For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
