2:1

Διο αναπολογητος ει ω ανθρωπε πας ο κρινων εν ω γαρ κρινεις τον ετερον σεαυτον κατακρινεις τα γαρ αυτα πρασσεις ο κρινων

Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things.

¹

2:2

οιδαμεν δε οτι το κριμα του Θεου εστιν κατα αληθειαν επι τους τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντας

And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.

2:3

λογιζη δε τουτο ω ανθρωπε ο κρινων τους τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντας και ποιων αυτα οτι συ εκφευξη το κριμα του Θεου

And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

2:4

η του πλουτου της χρηστοτητος αυτου και της ανοχης και της μακροθυμιας καταφρονεις αγνοων οτι το χρηστον του Θεου εις μετανοιαν σε αγει

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

2:5

Κατα δε την σκληροτητα σου και αμετανοητον καρδιαν θησαυριζεις σεαυτω οργην εν ημερα οργης και αποκαλυψεως δικαιοκρισιας του Θεου

but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

2:6

ος Αποδωσει εκαστω κατα τα εργα αυτου

who will render to every man according to his works:

2:7

τοις μεν καθ υπομονην εργου αγαθου δοξαν και τιμην και αφθαρσιαν ζητουσιν ζωην αιωνιον

to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:

2:8

τοις δε εξ εριθειας και απειθουσι τη αληθεια πειθομενοις δε τη αδικια οργη και θυμος

but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be wrath and indignation,

2:9

θλιψις και στενοχωρια επι πασαν ψυχην ανθρωπου του κατεργαζομενου το κακον Ιουδαιου τε πρωτον και Ελληνος

tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

2:10

δοξα δε και τιμη και ειρηνη παντι τω εργαζομενω το αγαθον Ιουδαιω τε πρωτον και Ελληνι

but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

2:11

ου γαρ εστιν προσωπολημψια παρα τω Θεω

for there is no respect of persons with God.

2:12

Οσοι γαρ ανομως ημαρτον ανομως και απολουνται και οσοι εν νομω ημαρτον δια νομου κριθησονται

For as many as have sinned without the law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

2:13

ου γαρ οι ακροαται νομου δικαιοι παρα τω Θεω αλλ οι ποιηται νομου δικαιωθησονται

for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;

2:14

Οταν γαρ εθνη τα μη νομον εχοντα φυσει τα του νομου ποιωσιν ουτοι νομον μη εχοντες εαυτοις εισιν νομος

(for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;

2:15

οιτινες ενδεικνυνται το εργον του νομου γραπτον εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων συμμαρτυρουσης αυτων της συνειδησεως και μεταξυ αλληλων των λογισμων κατηγορουντων η και απολογουμενων

in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them);

2:16

εν ημερα οτε κρινει ο Θεος τα κρυπτα των ανθρωπων κατα το ευαγγελιον μου δια Χριστου Ιησου

in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

2:17

Ει δε συ Ιουδαιος επονομαζη και επαναπαυη νομω και καυχασαι εν Θεω

But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

2:18

και γινωσκεις το θελημα και δοκιμαζεις τα διαφεροντα κατηχουμενος εκ του νομου

and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

2:19

πεποιθας τε σεαυτον οδηγον ειναι τυφλων φως των εν σκοτει

and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

2:20

παιδευτην αφρονων διδασκαλον νηπιων εχοντα την μορφωσιν της γνωσεως και της αληθειας εν τω νομω

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;

2:21

ο ουν διδασκων ετερον σεαυτον ου διδασκεις ο κηρυσσων μη κλεπτειν κλεπτεις

thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

2:22

ο λεγων μη μοιχευειν μοιχευεις ο βδελυσσομενος τα ειδωλα ιεροσυλεις

thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?

2:23

ος εν νομω καυχασαι δια της παραβασεως του νομου τον Θεον ατιμαζεις

thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?

2:24

το γαρ Ονομα του Θεου δι υμας βλασφημειται εν τοις εθνεσιν καθως γεγραπται

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.

2:25

Περιτομη μεν γαρ ωφελει εαν νομον πρασσης εαν δε παραβατης νομου ης η περιτομη σου ακροβυστια γεγονεν

For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

2:26

εαν ουν η ακροβυστια τα δικαιωματα του νομου φυλασση ουχ η ακροβυστια αυτου εις περιτομην λογισθησεται

If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?

2:27

και κρινει η εκ φυσεως ακροβυστια τον νομον τελουσα σε τον δια γραμματος και περιτομης παραβατην νομου

and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?

2:28

Ου γαρ ο εν τω φανερω Ιουδαιος εστιν ουδε η εν τω φανερω εν σαρκι περιτομη

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

2:29

αλλ ο εν τω κρυπτω Ιουδαιος και περιτομη καρδιας εν πνευματι ου γραμματι ου ο επαινος ουκ εξ ανθρωπων αλλ εκ του Θεου

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
