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.

Dreptatea judecăţii lui Dumnezeu
2 De aceea, tu, omule, care-i judeci pe alţii, n-ai nici o scuză, căci prin faptul că-l judeci pe altul te condamni pe tine însuţi, pentru că tu, care-l judeci, înfăptuieşti aceleaşi lucruri! 2 Ştim că judecata lui Dumnezeu faţă de cei ce înfăptuiesc astfel de lucruri este bazată pe adevăr. 3 Şi crezi tu, omule, care-i judeci pe cei ce înfăptuiesc astfel de lucruri, dar pe care le faci şi tu, că vei scăpa de judecata lui Dumnezeu? 4 Sau dispreţuieşti bogăţiile bunătăţii, îngăduinţei şi îndelungii Lui răbdări şi nu-ţi dai seama că bunătatea lui Dumnezeu te îndeamnă la pocăinţă? 5 Dar, din cauza încăpăţânării tale şi a inimii tale care nu vrea să se pocăiască, îţi aduni o comoară de mânie în ziua mâniei şi a arătării dreptei judecăţi a lui Dumnezeu, 6 Care „va răsplăti fiecăruia după faptele lui“[a]: 7 celor ce, prin perseverenţa în fapte bune, urmăresc glorie, onoare şi nemurire, le va da viaţă veşnică; 8 dar celor ce, din ambiţie egoistă, resping adevărul şi ascultă de nedreptate, le va da urgie şi mânie. 9 Va fi necaz şi strâmtorare peste orice suflet omenesc care săvârşeşte răul, – întâi peste iudeu şi apoi peste grec –, 10 dar va fi glorie, onoare şi pace peste oricine înfăptuieşte binele, – întâi peste iudeu şi apoi peste grec –, 11 căci înaintea lui Dumnezeu nu este părtinire.
12 Cei ce au păcătuit fără Lege vor pieri fără Lege, iar cei ce au păcătuit sub Lege vor fi judecaţi pe baza Legii. 13 Căci nu cei ce aud Legea sunt socotiţi drepţi înaintea lui Dumnezeu, ci cei ce înfăptuiesc Legea sunt cei ce vor fi îndreptăţiţi. 14 Când neamurile[b], – care nu au Legea –, fac din fire lucrurile Legii, prin aceasta, ele, care nu au Legea, îşi sunt singure lege. 15 Ele arată astfel că lucrarea Legii este scrisă în inimile lor. De asemenea, şi conştiinţa lor arată că acest lucru este adevărat, întrucât gândurile lor fie se acuză, fie se scuză între ele. 16 Acest lucru se va vedea în ziua în care, potrivit Evangheliei mele, Dumnezeu, prin Isus Cristos, va judeca lucrurile ascunse ale oamenilor.
Iudeul şi Legea
17 Dar dacă tu, care te numeşti iudeu şi îţi pui încrederea în Lege, care te lauzi cu Dumnezeu, 18 cunoşti voia Lui şi îţi dai seama de ceea ce este bine pentru că eşti instruit în Lege, 19 care eşti convins că eşti călăuză pentru orbi, lumină pentru cei din întuneric, 20 sfătuitor al celor fără minte, învăţător al celor neştiutori[c], pentru că tu ai în Lege trăsăturile esenţiale ale cunoştinţei şi adevărului, 21 tu deci care înveţi pe altul, pe tine însuţi nu te înveţi? Tu, care predici să nu furi, furi? 22 Tu, care interzici adulterul, comiţi adulter? Ţie, căruia ţi-e scârbă de idoli, le jefuieşti templele? 23 Tu, care te lauzi cu Legea, Îl dezonorezi pe Dumnezeu prin neascultarea de Lege? 24 Căci, aşa cum este scris: „Numele lui Dumnezeu este blasfemiat printre neamuri din cauza voastră.“[d] 25 Dacă asculţi de Lege, circumcizia ta este de folos, dar, dacă nu asculţi de Lege, circumcizia ta a devenit necircumcizie.[e] 26 Deci, dacă cel necircumcis păzeşte cerinţele Legii, nu va fi considerată oare necircumcizia lui drept circumcizie? 27 Aşadar, cel care, fizic, este necircumcis, însă ascultă de Lege, te va condamna pe tine, care ai codul scris şi circumcizia, dar nu asculţi de Lege. 28 Iudeu nu este cel care este iudeu în exterior şi circumcizie adevărată nu este cea evidentă în carne, 29 ci, mai degrabă, iudeu este cel care este iudeu înăuntru, iar circumcizie este cea a inimii, în duh, nu în literă[f]. Un astfel de om îşi primeşte lauda nu de la oameni, ci de la Dumnezeu.

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)
