  • 1. Therefore art thou inexcusable, O ma, whosoeuer thou be that iudgest. For in that same wherin thou iudgest another, thou condempnest thy self. For thou that iudgest, doest euen ye selfe same thynges.
  • 2. But we are sure that the iudgement of god is according to the trueth, against them which commit such thynges.
  • 3. Thinkest thou this, O thou man that iudgest them whiche do such thynges, and doest the same [thy selfe] that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God?
  • 4. Eyther despisest thou the rychesse of his goodnes, & pacience, and long sufferaunce, not knowyng that the kyndnesse of god leadeth thee to repentauce?
  • 5. But thou after thy stubbernnesse and heart that can not repent, heapest vnto thy selfe wrath, agaynst the daye of wrath and declaration of the righteous iudgement of God:
  • 6. Which wyl rewarde euery man accordyng to his deedes:
  • 7. To them, whiche by continuyng in well doyng seke for glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, eternall lyfe.
  • 8. But vnto them that are contentious, & that do not obey the trueth, but obey vnrighteousnes [shall come] indignation, and wrath.
  • 9. Tribulation, and anguishe, vpon euery soule of man that doeth euyll, of the Iewe first, and also of the Greke:
  • 10. But glorie, and honour, and peace to euery man that doeth good, to ye Iewe first, and also to the Greke.
  • 11. For there is no respect of persos with God.
  • 12. For whosoeuer hath sinned without lawe, shall also perishe without lawe: And as many as haue sinned in ye lawe, shalbe iudged by the lawe.
  • 13. (For in the sight of God, they are not righteous whiche heare the lawe: but the doers of the lawe shalbe iustified.
  • 14. For when the Gentiles, which haue not the lawe, do of nature the thynges conteyned in the lawe: they hauing not the lawe, are a lawe vnto them selues.
  • 15. Which shewe the workes of the lawe written in their heartes, their conscience bearing them witnesse, & their thoughtes, accusyng one another, or excusyng,)
  • 16. At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christe, accordyng to my Gospell.
  • 17. Behold, thou art called a Iewe, and restest in the lawe, and makest thy boast of God,
  • 18. And knowest his wyll, and alowest the thinges that be excellent, infourmed by the lawe:
  • 19. And beleuest that thou thy selfe art a guyde of the blynde, a lyght of them which are in darknesse,
  • 20. An infourmer of them whiche lacke discretion, a teacher of the vnlearned: which hast the fourme of knowledge, & of the trueth in the lawe.
  • 21. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest not thy selfe? Thou preachest a man shoulde not steale, yet thou stealest.
  • 22. Thou that sayest a man shoulde not commit adulterie, breakest wedlocke. Thou abhorrest idoles, and yet robbest God of his honour.
  • 23. Thou that makest thy boast of ye lawe, through breakyng the lawe dishonorest God.
  • 24. For the name of God is euyll spoken of among the Gentiles, through you: As it is written.
  • 25. For circumcision veryly auayleth, yf thou kepe the lawe: But yf thou be a breaker of the lawe, thy circumcision is made vncircumcision.
  • 26. Therefore if the vncircumcisio kepe the ordinaunces of the law, shall not his vncircumcisio be counted for circumcisio?
  • 27. And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature, if it kepe the law, iudge thee, which beyng vnder the letter & circumcision, doest transgresse the lawe?
  • 28. For he is not a Iewe, whiche is a Iewe outwarde. Neither is that circucision which is outwarde in the fleshe:
  • 29. But he is a Iewe whiche is one inwardly, and the circumcisio of ye heart, which consisteth in the spirite, and not in the letter [is circumcision] whose prayse is not of men, but of God.
