장차 받을 형벌
2 여러분은 남을 판단하고 있습니까? 그렇다면 여러분은 죄인이 아니라고 변명 할 수 없습니다. 왜냐하면 여러분도 그들과 똑같은 일을 하고 있기 때문입니다.
2 이런 일을 하는 사람에게는 하나님의 정의의 심판이 내린다는 것을 우리는 알고 있습니다.
3 자기도 같은 일을 하면서 남을 판단하는 사람은 하나님의 심판을 피할 수 없을 것입니다.
4 하나님의 자비로 인해서 사람이 회개하게 된다는 것을 모르고 오히려 그분의 넘치는 자비와 너그러움과 참으심을 업신여긴단 말입니까?
5 이런 사람은 고집이 세고 회개하지 않기 때문에 하나님의 정의의 심판 날에 받을 형벌을 스스로 쌓고 있는 것입니다.
6 하나님은 모든 사람에게 그 행위대로 갚아 주실 것입니다.
7 참고 꾸준히 선한 일을 하며 영광과 존귀와 썩지 않을 것을 구하는 사람에게는 하나님께서 영원한 생명으로 갚아 주시고
8 이기적이며 진리에 순종하지 않고 불의를 따르는 사람에게는 분노와 형벌로 갚으실 것입니다.
9 악한 일을 하는 사람은 유대인뿐만 아니라 이방인까지도 환란과 고통을 당할 것이며
10 선한 일을 하는 사람에게는 영광과 존귀와 평안이 있을 것입니다. 이것도 유대인이나 이방인이 마찬가지입니다.
11 하나님은 모든 사람을 차별하지 않고 똑같이 대하시기 때문입니다.
12 율법 없이 죄 짓는 사람은 율법에 관계없이 망하고 율법 아래서 죄 짓는 사람은 율법으로 심판을 받을 것입니다.
13 하나님 앞에서 의롭다는 인정을 받을 사람은 율법을 듣기만 하는 사람이 아니라 그 율법대로 사는 사람입니다.
14 율법 없는 이방인들이 본능적으로 율법이 요구하는 것을 실천하면 그들에게 율법이 없어도 그들 자신이 자기에게 율법이 됩니다.
15 그들의 행동은 율법이 요구하는 일이 그들의 마음에 기록되어 있다는 것을 보여 주며 그들의 양심도 이것이 사실임을 증거하고 있습니다. 왜냐하면 그들의 생각이 서로 고발하며 변명하기 때문입니다.
16 내가 전한 기쁜 소식에서 말한 것처럼 하나님께서 예수 그리스도를 통하여 사람들의 모든 비밀을 심판하실 날이 반드시 올 것입니다.
17 그러나 유대인 여러분은 어떻습니까? 여러분은 율법을 의지하고 하나님을 자랑하며
18 율법에서 교훈을 받아 하나님의 뜻을 알고 최상의 것을 가려낼 줄 압니다.
19 그리고 여러분은 여러분 자신이 소경의 길잡이요 어두움에 있는 사람들의 빛이며
20 어리석은 사람의 교사요 어린 아이들의 선생이라고 믿고 있으며 또 지식과 진리의 모든 내용이 율법에 다 들어 있는 것으로 알고 있습니다.
21 그런 여러분이 남은 가르치면서도 왜 여러분 자신은 가르치지 못합니까? 도둑질하지 말라고 하는 여러분이 도둑질하고
22 간음하지 말라고 하는 여러분이 간음하며 우상을 지긋지긋하게 여기는 여러분이 신전의 물건을 훔치고
23 율법을 자랑하는 여러분이 율법을 어겨 하나님을 욕되게 하다니 말이나 됩니까?
24 그것은 성경에 [a]“하나님의 이름이 너희 때문에 이방인들 가운데서 모독을 당한다” 라고 기록된 말씀과 같습니다.
25 율법을 지키면 여러분의 [b]할례가 가치가 있으나 율법을 어기면 할례를 받지 않은 것처럼 되고 맙니다.
26 그러므로 할례를 받지 않은 이방인이라도 율법을 잘 지키면 하나님은 그를 할례받은 사람으로 여기시지 않겠습니까?
27 그래서 본래 할례를 받지 않은 사람이 율법을 지킨다면 오히려 그가 할례를 받고 율법을 잘 알면서도 그것을 어기는 여러분을 판단하게 될 것입니다.
28 유대인으로 태어났다고 해서 참 유대인이 아니며 육체에 할례를 받았다고 해서 참 할례가 아닙니다.
29 오히려 마음에 참된 변화를 받은 사람이라야 참 유대인이며 기록된 율법이 아닌 성령님에 의한 마음의 할례가 진정한 할례입니다. 이런 사람은 칭찬을 사람에게서 받는 것이 아니라 하나님에게서 받습니다.
Romans 2
King James Version
2 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.
Romans 2
International Children’s Bible
You People Also Are Sinful
2 If you think that you can judge others, then you are wrong. You too are guilty of sin. You judge people, but you do the same bad things they do. So when you judge them, you are really judging yourself guilty. 2 God judges those who do wrong things. And we know that God’s judging is right. 3 You judge those who do wrong, but you do wrong yourselves. Do you think you will be able to escape the judgment of God? 4 God has been very kind to you, and he has been patient with you. God has been waiting for you to change. But you think nothing of his kindness. Perhaps you do not understand that God is kind to you so that you will change your hearts and lives. 5 But you are hard and stubborn and refuse to change. So you are making your own punishment greater and greater on the day God shows his anger. On that day all people will see God’s right judgments. 6 God will reward or punish every person for what he has done. 7 Some people live for God’s glory, for honor, and for life that has no end. They live for those things by always continuing to do good. God will give life forever to them. 8 But other people are selfish and refuse to follow truth. They follow evil. God will give them his punishment and anger. 9 He will give trouble and suffering to everyone who does evil—to the Jews first and also to the non-Jews. 10 But God will give glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does good—to the Jews first and also to the non-Jews. 11 For God judges all people in the same way.
12 People who have God’s law and those who have never heard of the law are all the same when they sin. Those who do not have the law and are sinners will be lost. And, in the same way, people who have the law and are sinners will be judged by the law. 13 Hearing the law does not make people right with God. The law makes people right with God only if they obey what the law says. 14 (The non-Jews do not have the law. But when they freely do things that the law commands, then they are the law for themselves. This is true even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that in their hearts they know what is right and wrong, just as the law commands. And they also show this by the way they feel about right and wrong. Sometimes their thoughts tell them they did wrong. And sometimes their thoughts tell them they did right.) 16 All these things will happen on the day when God will judge the secret thoughts of people’s hearts. The Good News that I preach says that God will judge everyone through Christ Jesus.
The Jews and the Law
17 What about you? You call yourself a Jew. You trust in the law of Moses and brag that you are close to God. 18 You know what God wants you to do. And you know the things that are important because you have learned the law. 19 You think you are a guide for the blind and a light for those who are in darkness. 20 You think you can show foolish people what is right and teach those who know nothing. You have the law; so you think you know everything and have all truth. 21 You teach other people. So why don’t you teach yourself? You tell others not to steal. But you yourselves steal. 22 You say that others must not take part in adultery. But you yourselves are guilty of that sin. You hate idols. But you steal from temples. 23 You brag about having God’s law. But you bring shame to God by breaking his law. 24 It is written in the Scriptures: “The non-Jews speak against God’s name because of you Jews.”[a]
25 If you follow the law, then your circumcision has meaning. But if you break the law, then it is as if you were never circumcised. 26 The non-Jews are not circumcised. But if they do what the law says, then it is as if they were circumcised. 27 You Jews have the written law and circumcision, but you break the law. So those who are not circumcised in their bodies, but still obey the law, will show that you are guilty.
28 A person is not a true Jew if he is only a Jew in his physical body. True circumcision is not only on the outside of the body. 29 A person is a true Jew only if he is a Jew inside. True circumcision is done in the heart by the Spirit, not by the written law. Such a person gets praise from God, not from other people.

Romans 2
New International Version
God’s Righteous Judgment
2 You, therefore, have no excuse,(A) you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.(B) 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches(C) of his kindness,(D) forbearance(E) and patience,(F) not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?(G)
5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath(H), when his righteous judgment(I) will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a](J) 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor(K) and immortality,(L) he will give eternal life.(M) 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,(N) there will be wrath and anger.(O) 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:(P) first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;(Q) 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.(R) 11 For God does not show favoritism.(S)
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law(T) will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(U) the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,(V) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets(W) through Jesus Christ,(X) as my gospel(Y) declares.
The Jews and the Law
17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;(Z) 18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?(AA) 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?(AB) 23 You who boast in the law,(AC) do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”[b](AD)
25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law,(AE) but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.(AF) 26 So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements,(AG) will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?(AH) 27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you(AI) who, even though you have the[c] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly,(AJ) nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.(AK) 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart,(AL) by the Spirit,(AM) not by the written code.(AN) Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.(AO)
