El justo juicio de Dios
2 Por lo cual eres inexcusable, oh hombre, quienquiera que seas tú que juzgas; pues en lo que juzgas a otro, te condenas a ti mismo;(A) porque tú que juzgas haces lo mismo. 2 Mas sabemos que el juicio de Dios contra los que practican tales cosas es según verdad. 3 ¿Y piensas esto, oh hombre, tú que juzgas a los que tal hacen, y haces lo mismo, que tú escaparás del juicio de Dios? 4 ¿O menosprecias las riquezas de su benignidad, paciencia y longanimidad, ignorando que su benignidad te guía al arrepentimiento? 5 Pero por tu dureza y por tu corazón no arrepentido, atesoras para ti mismo ira para el día de la ira y de la revelación del justo juicio de Dios, 6 el cual pagará a cada uno conforme a sus obras:(B) 7 vida eterna a los que, perseverando en bien hacer, buscan gloria y honra e inmortalidad, 8 pero ira y enojo a los que son contenciosos y no obedecen a la verdad, sino que obedecen a la injusticia; 9 tribulación y angustia sobre todo ser humano que hace lo malo, el judío primeramente y también el griego, 10 pero gloria y honra y paz a todo el que hace lo bueno, al judío primeramente y también al griego; 11 porque no hay acepción de personas para con Dios.(C)
12 Porque todos los que sin ley han pecado, sin ley también perecerán; y todos los que bajo la ley han pecado, por la ley serán juzgados; 13 porque no son los oidores de la ley los justos ante Dios, sino los hacedores de la ley serán justificados. 14 Porque cuando los gentiles que no tienen ley, hacen por naturaleza lo que es de la ley, estos, aunque no tengan ley, son ley para sí mismos, 15 mostrando la obra de la ley escrita en sus corazones, dando testimonio su conciencia, y acusándoles o defendiéndoles sus razonamientos, 16 en el día en que Dios juzgará por Jesucristo los secretos de los hombres, conforme a mi evangelio.
Los judíos y la ley
17 He aquí, tú tienes el sobrenombre de judío, y te apoyas en la ley, y te glorías en Dios, 18 y conoces su voluntad, e instruido por la ley apruebas lo mejor, 19 y confías en que eres guía de los ciegos, luz de los que están en tinieblas, 20 instructor de los indoctos, maestro de niños, que tienes en la ley la forma de la ciencia y de la verdad. 21 Tú, pues, que enseñas a otro, ¿no te enseñas a ti mismo? Tú que predicas que no se ha de hurtar, ¿hurtas? 22 Tú que dices que no se ha de adulterar, ¿adulteras? Tú que abominas de los ídolos, ¿cometes sacrilegio? 23 Tú que te jactas de la ley, ¿con infracción de la ley deshonras a Dios? 24 Porque como está escrito, el nombre de Dios es blasfemado entre los gentiles por causa de vosotros.(D)
25 Pues en verdad la circuncisión aprovecha, si guardas la ley; pero si eres transgresor de la ley, tu circuncisión viene a ser incircuncisión. 26 Si, pues, el incircunciso guardare las ordenanzas de la ley, ¿no será tenida su incircuncisión como circuncisión? 27 Y el que físicamente es incircunciso, pero guarda perfectamente la ley, te condenará a ti, que con la letra de la ley y con la circuncisión eres transgresor de la ley. 28 Pues no es judío el que lo es exteriormente, ni es la circuncisión la que se hace exteriormente en la carne; 29 sino que es judío el que lo es en lo interior, y la circuncisión es la del corazón, en espíritu, no en letra; la alabanza del cual no viene de los hombres, sino de Dios.
Romarbrevet 2
Svenska 1917
2 Därför är du utan ursäkt, du människa, vem du än är, som dömer. Ty därmed att du dömer en annan fördömer du dig själv, eftersom du, som dömer den andre, själv handlar på samma sätt.
2 Och vi veta att Guds dom verkligen kommer över dem som handla så.
3 Men du menar väl detta, att du skall kunna undfly Guds dom, du människa, som dömer dem som handla så, och dock gör detsamma som de?
4 Eller föraktar du hans godhets, skonsamhets och långmodighets rikedom, utan att förstå att denna Guds godhet vill föra dig till bättring?
5 Genom din hårdhet och ditt hjärtas obotfärdighet samlar du ju över dig vrede, som skall drabba dig på vredens dag, då när det bliver uppenbart att Gud är en rättvis domare.
6 Ty »han skall vedergälla var och en efter hans gärningar».
7 Evigt liv skall han giva åt dem som med uthållighet i att göra det goda söka härlighet och ära och oförgänglighet.
8 Men över dem som äro genstridiga och icke lyda sanningen, utan lyda orättfärdigheten, över dem kommer vrede och förtörnelse.
9 Ja, bedrövelse och ångest skall komma över den människas själ, som gör det onda, först och främst över judens, så ock över grekens.
10 Men härlighet och ära och frid skall tillfalla var och en som gör det goda, först och främst juden, så ock greken.
11 Ty hos Gud finnes intet anseende till personen;
12 alla de som utan lag hava syndat skola ock utan lag förgås, och alla de som med lag hava syndat skola genom lag bliva dömda.
13 Ty icke lagens hörare äro rättfärdiga inför Gud, men lagens görare skola förklaras rättfärdiga.
14 Ty då hedningarna, som icke hava lag, av naturen göra vad lagen innehåller, så äro dessa, utan att hava lag, sig själv en lag,
15 då de ju sålunda visa att lagens verk äro skrivna i deras hjärtan. Därom utgöra också deras egna samveten ett vittnesbörd, så ock, i den inbördes umgängelsen, deras tankar, när dessa anklaga eller ock försvara dem.
16 Ja, så skall det befinnas vara på den dag då Gud, enligt det evangelium jag förkunnar, genom Kristus Jesus dömer över vad som är fördolt hos människorna.
17 Du kallar dig jude och förlitar dig på lagen och berömmer dig av Gud.
18 Du känner ock hans vilja, och eftersom du har fått din undervisning ur lagen, kan du döma om vad rättast är;
19 och du tilltror dig att vara en ledare för blinda, ett ljus för människor som vandra i mörker,
20 en uppfostrare för oförståndiga, en lärare för enfaldiga, eftersom du i lagen har uttrycket för kunskapen och sanningen.
21 Du som vill lära andra, du lär icke dig själv! Du som predikar att man icke skall stjäla, du begår själv stöld!
22 Du som säger att man icke skall begå äktenskapsbrott, du begår själv sådant brott! Du som håller avgudarna för styggelser, du gör dig själv skyldig till tempelrån!
23 Du som berömmer dig av lagen, du vanärar Gud genom att överträda lagen,
24 ty, såsom det är skrivet, »för eder skull varder Guds namn smädat bland hedningarna».
25 Ty väl är omskärelse till gagn, om du håller lagen; men om du är en lagöverträdare, så är du med din omskärelse dock oomskuren.
26 Om nu den oomskurne håller lagens stadgar, skall han då icke, fastän han är oomskuren, räknas såsom omskuren?
27 Jo, och han som i följd av sin härkomst är oomskuren, men ändå fullgör lagen, skall bliva dig till dom, dig som äger lagens bokstav och omskärelsen, men likväl är en lagöverträdare.
28 Ty den är icke jude, som är det i utvärtes måtto, ej heller är det omskärelse, som sker utvärtes på köttet.
29 Nej, den är jude, som är det i invärtes måtto, och omskärelse är hjärtats omskärelse, en som sker i Anden, och icke i kraft av bokstaven; och han har sin berömmelse, icke från människor, utan från Gud.
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)

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
New King James Version
God’s Righteous Judgment
2 Therefore you are (A)inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, (B)for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise (C)the riches of His goodness, (D)forbearance, and (E)longsuffering, (F)not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But in accordance with your hardness and your [a]impenitent heart (G)you are [b]treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who (H)“will render to each one according to his deeds”: 7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and (I)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, 9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew (J)first and also of the [c]Greek; 10 (K)but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For (L)there is no partiality with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for (M)not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the (N)work of the law written in their hearts, their (O)conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 (P)in the day when God will judge the secrets of men (Q)by Jesus Christ, (R)according to my gospel.
The Jews Guilty as the Gentiles
17 [d]Indeed (S)you are called a Jew, and (T)rest[e] on the law, (U)and make your boast in God, 18 and (V)know His will, and (W)approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19 and (X)are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, (Y)having the form of knowledge and truth in the law. 21 (Z)You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, (AA)do you rob temples? 23 You who (AB)make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law? 24 For (AC)“the name of God is (AD)blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.
Circumcision of No Avail
25 (AE)For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 Therefore, (AF)if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? 27 And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, (AG)judge you who, even with your [f]written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law? 28 For (AH)he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew (AI)who is one inwardly; and (AJ)circumcision is that of the heart, (AK)in the Spirit, not in the letter; (AL)whose [g]praise is not from men but from God.
