El justo juicio de Dios
2 Por tanto tú, que juzgas a otros, no tienes excusa, no importa quién seas, pues al juzgar a otros te condenas a ti mismo,(A) porque haces las mismas cosas que hacen ellos. 2 Todos sabemos que el juicio de Dios contra los que practican tales cosas se ciñe a la verdad. 3 Y tú, que juzgas a los demás pero practicas las mismas cosas que ellos, ¿piensas que escaparás del juicio de Dios? 4 ¿No te das cuenta de que menosprecias la benignidad, la tolerancia y la paciencia de Dios, y que ignoras que su benignidad busca llevarte al arrepentimiento? 5 Pero por la obstinación y dureza de tu corazón, vas acumulando ira contra ti mismo para el día de la ira, cuando Dios revelará su justo juicio, 6 en el cual pagará a cada uno conforme a sus obras.(B) 7 Dios dará vida eterna a los que, perseverando en hacer el bien, buscan gloria, honra e inmortalidad; 8 pero castigará con ira a los que por egoísmo se rebelan y no obedecen a la verdad, sino a la injusticia. 9 Habrá sufrimiento y angustia para todos los que hacen lo malo, en primer lugar para los judíos, pero también para los que no lo son. 10 En cambio, habrá gloria, honra y paz para todos los que hacen lo bueno, en primer lugar para los judíos, pero también para los que no lo son; 11 porque ante Dios todas las personas son iguales.(C)
12 Así que todos los que han pecado sin haber tenido la ley, perecerán sin la ley, y todos los que han pecado bajo la ley, serán juzgados por la ley. 13 Porque Dios no considera justos a los que simplemente oyen la ley sino a los que la obedecen. 14 Porque cuando los paganos, que no tienen ley, hacen por naturaleza lo que la ley demanda, son ley para sí mismos, aunque no tengan la ley; 15 y de esa manera demuestran que llevan la ley escrita en su corazón, pues su propia conciencia da testimonio, y sus propios razonamientos los acusarán o defenderán 16 en el día en que Dios juzgará por medio de Jesucristo los secretos de los hombres, conforme a mi evangelio.
Los judíos y la ley
17 Ahora bien, tú te llamas judío, confías en la ley, y te enorgulleces de tu Dios. 18 Conoces la voluntad de Dios y juzgas lo que es mejor porque la ley así te lo ha enseñado. 19 Estás convencido de que eres guía de los ciegos y luz de los que están en tinieblas, 20 instructor de los ignorantes y maestro de niños, y que tienes en la ley la clave del conocimiento y de la verdad. 21 Pues bien, tú que enseñas a otros, ¿no te enseñas a ti mismo? Tú que predicas que no se debe robar, ¿robas? 22 Tú que dices que no se debe cometer adulterio, ¿adulteras? Tú que detestas a los ídolos, ¿robas en los templos? 23 Tú que te sientes orgulloso de la ley, ¿deshonras a Dios quebrantando la ley? 24 Porque, como está escrito: «Por causa de ustedes el nombre de Dios es blasfemado entre los paganos.»(D)
25 Es verdad que, si obedeces a la ley, la circuncisión es provechosa, pero si la desobedeces, será como si no estuvieras circuncidado. 26 Por lo tanto, si el que no está circuncidado obedece lo que la ley ordena, ¿no se lo considerará como si estuviera circuncidado? 27 Y el que no está físicamente circuncidado, pero obedece a la ley, te condenará a ti, que desobedeces a la ley a pesar de que tienes la ley y estás circuncidado. 28 Porque lo exterior no hace judío a nadie, y estar circuncidado no es una señal externa solamente. 29 El verdadero judío lo es en su interior, y la circuncisión no es la literal sino la espiritual, la del corazón. El que es judío de esta manera es aprobado, no por los hombres, sino por Dios.

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)

God's Righteous Judgment
2 Therefore you have (A)no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For (B)in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on (C)the riches of his kindness and (D)forbearance and (E)patience, (F)not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are (G)storing up (H)wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
6 (I)He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who (J)by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking[a] and (K)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress (L)for every human being who does evil, the Jew (M)first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and (N)peace for everyone who does good, (O)the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For (P)God shows no partiality.
God's Judgment and the Law
12 For all who have sinned (Q)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 (R)it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, (S)by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is (T)written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 (U)on that day when, (V)according to my gospel, God judges (W)the secrets of men (X)by Christ Jesus.
17 But if you call yourself a Jew and (Y)rely on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; 19 and if you are sure that you yourself are (Z)a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law (AA)the embodiment of (AB)knowledge and truth— 21 (AC)you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you (AD)rob temples? 23 You who (AE)boast in the law (AF)dishonor God by breaking the law. 24 For, (AG)as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed (AH)among the Gentiles because of you.”
25 For circumcision indeed is of value (AI)if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if (AJ)a man who is uncircumcised keeps (AK)the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded[b] as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically[c] uncircumcised but keeps the law (AL)will condemn you who have (AM)the written code[d] and circumcision but break the law. 28 For (AN)no one is a Jew (AO)who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one (AP)inwardly, and (AQ)circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. (AR)His praise is not from man but from God.
