The Righteous Judgement of God
2 Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in passing judgement on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things. 2 You say,[a] ‘We know that God’s judgement on those who do such things is in accordance with truth.’ 3 Do you imagine, whoever you are, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do them yourself, you will escape the judgement of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not realize that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgement will be revealed. 6 For he will repay according to each one’s deeds: 7 to those who by patiently doing good seek for glory and honour and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 while for those who are self-seeking and who obey not the truth but wickedness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be anguish and distress for everyone who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honour and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality.
12 All who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from 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 righteous in God’s sight, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 When Gentiles, who do not possess the law, do instinctively what the law requires, these, though not having the law, are a law to themselves. 15 They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, to which their own conscience also bears witness; and their conflicting thoughts will accuse or perhaps excuse them 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God, through Jesus Christ, will judge the secret thoughts of all.
The Jews and the Law
17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of your relation to God 18 and know his will and determine what is best because you are instructed in the law, 19 and if you are sure that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth, 21 you, then, that teach others, will you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You that forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You that abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You that boast in the law, do you dishonour God by breaking the law? 24 For, as it is written, ‘The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.’
25 Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 So, if those who are uncircumcised keep the requirements of the law, will not their uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? 27 Then those who are physically uncircumcised but keep the law will condemn you that have the written code and circumcision but break the law. 28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical. 29 Rather, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart—it is spiritual and not literal. Such a person receives praise not from others but from God.

Isten nem személyválogató
2 Ezért nincs mentséged, te ítélkező ember, mert amikor más felett ítélkezel, magadat ítéled el, hiszen magad is ugyanazt cselekszed, miközben ítélkezel!
2 Azt pedig tudjuk, hogy az Isten ítélete igazságosan sújtja azokat, akik ilyeneket cselekszenek.
3 Azt gondolod, te ember, aki ítélkezel azok felett, akik ilyeneket tesznek, holott magad is ugyanazokat cselekszed, hogy akkor te megmenekülsz az Isten ítéletétől?
4 Vagy megveted jóságának, elnézésének és türelmének gazdagságát, és nem veszed tudomásul, hogy téged az Isten jósága megtérésre ösztönöz?
5 Te azonban kemény szívvel és megtérés nélkül gyűjtesz magadnak haragot a harag napjára, amikor az Isten nyilvánvalóvá teszi, hogy igazságosan ítél.
6 Mert mindenkinek cselekedetei szerint fog megfizetni:
7 azoknak, akik állhatatosan jót cselekedve törekszenek dicsőségre, megbecsülésre, és halhatatlanságra, örök életet ad;
8 azoknak pedig, akik viszálykodók, akik ellenállnak az igazságnak, és a hamisságot követik, haraggal és bosszúállással fizet majd.
9 Gyötrelem és szorongás lesz a része minden ember lelkének, aki a rosszat cselekszi, zsidónak elsősorban, de görögnek is;
10 viszont dicsőség, tisztelet és békesség jut majd osztályrészül mindenkinek, aki a jót cselekszi, zsidónak elsősorban, de görögnek is!
A törvény nélkül élők bűnössége
11 Mert Isten nem személyválogató.
12 Akik ugyanis törvény ismerete nélkül vétkeztek, a törvény nélkül vesznek el, és akik a törvény ismeretében vétkeztek, azok a törvény alapján kapják meg majd az ítéletet.
13 Hiszen nem a törvény hallgatói igazak Isten előtt, hanem a törvény megtartói fognak megigazíttatni.
14 Mert amikor a pogányok, akik nem ismerik a törvényt, természetes eszük szerint cselekszik azt, amit a törvény követel, akkor ezek a törvény nélküliek önmaguknak szabnak törvényt.
15 Ezzel azt bizonyítják, hogy a törvény cselekedete be van írva a szívükbe. Erről lelkiismeretük és egymást vádló vagy éppen védő gondolataik együtt tanúskodnak majd,
16 azon a napon, amelyen megítéli Isten az emberek rejtett gondolatait az én evangéliumom szerint Krisztus Jézus által.
A törvény alatt élők bűnössége
17 Ha pedig te zsidónak nevezed magadat, aki a törvényre hagyatkozol, és az Istennel dicsekszel,
18 és ismered az ő akaratát, és meg tudod ítélni, mi a helyes, mert megtanultad a törvényből;
19 és meg vagy győződve arról is, hogy te a vakok vezetője vagy, meg a sötétben járók világossága,
20 az oktalanok nevelője, és a kiskorúak tanítója, mivel tied a törvényben az ismeret és az igazság teljessége:
21 ha tehát mást tanítasz, magadat nem tanítod? Aki hirdeted, hogy ne lopj, lopsz?
22 Aki azt mondod, hogy ne paráználkodj, paráználkodsz? Aki utálod a bálványokat, templomrabló vagy?
23 Aki a törvénnyel dicsekszel, a törvény megszegésével gyalázod az Istent?
24 Bizony "miattatok káromolják az Isten nevét a pogányok között", úgy amint meg van írva.
25 A körülmetélkedés valóban használ, ha megtartod a törvényt; de ha törvényszegő vagy, akkor körülmetéltséged körülmetéletlenséggé lett.
26 Ha pedig a körülmetéletlen megtartja a törvény rendelkezéseit, nem tekinti-e Isten a körülmetéletlenségét körülmetéltségnek?
27 Még a származása szerint körülmetéletlen is, aki betölti a törvényt, el fog ítélni téged azért, mert az Írás és a körülmetélés ellenére törvényszegő vagy.
28 Mert nem az részesül dicséretben, aki külsőleg zsidó, aki testén külsőleg van körülmetélve,
29 hanem az részesül dicséretben - mégpedig nem emberektől, hanem Istentől -, aki belsejében zsidó, aki nem betű szerint, hanem szívében a Lélek által van körülmetélve.

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)
