New Testament

Romans 2:9-22 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

9. There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,

10. but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

11. For there is no partiality with God.

12. For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;

13. for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

14. For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves,

15. in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

16. on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

17. But if you bear the name "Jew" and rely upon the Law and boast in God,

18. and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law,

19. and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20. a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,

21. you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal?

22. You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
