NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Romans 2

The Impartiality of God

1

Thereforeg1352 you haveg1510  anog379 excuseg379,  1 beveryoneg444g3956 of you who passesg2919 judgmentg2919, for in that whichg3739  cyou judgeg2919 anotherg2087, you condemng2632 yourselfg4572; for you who judgeg2919 practiceg4238 the sameg846 thingsg846.

2

And we knowg3609a that the judgmentg2917 of Godg2316  1rightlyg2596g225 fallsg1510 upon thoseg3588 who practiceg4238 suchg5108 thingsg5108.

3

But do you supposeg3049 thisg3778,  aOg5599 mang444,  1when you passg2919 judgmentg2919 on thoseg3588 who practiceg4238 suchg5108 thingsg5108 and dog4160 the sameg846 yourself, that you will escapeg1628 the judgmentg2917 of Godg2316?

4

Org2228 do you thinkg2706 lightlyg2706 of  athe richesg4149 of His  bkindnessg5544 and  ctoleranceg463 and  dpatienceg3115, not knowingg50 that the kindnessg5543 of Godg2316 leadsg71 you to repentanceg3341?

5

But  1becauseg2596 of your stubbornnessg4643 and unrepentantg279 heartg2588  ayou are storingg2343 up wrathg3709 for yourselfg4572  bin the dayg2250 of wrathg3709 and revelationg602 of the righteousg1341 judgmentg1341 of Godg2316,

6

 awhog3739 WILL RENDERg591 TO EACHg1538 PERSONg1538 ACCORDINGg2596 TO HIS DEEDSg2041:

7

to thoseg3588 who by  aperseveranceg5281 in doingg2041 goodg18 seekg2212 for  bgloryg1391 and honorg5092 and  cimmortalityg861,  deternalg166 lifeg2222;

8

but to thoseg3588 who are  aselfishlyg2052 ambitiousg2052 and  bdo not obeyg544 the truthg225, but obeyg3982 unrighteousnessg93, wrathg3709 and indignationg2372.

9

There will be  atribulationg2347 and distressg4730  1for everyg3956 soulg5590 of mang444 who doesg2716 evilg2556, of the Jewg2453  bfirstg4413 and alsog5037 of the Greekg1672,

10

but  agloryg1391 and honorg5092 and peaceg1515 to everyoneg3956 who doesg2038b goodg18, to the Jewg2453  bfirstg4413 and alsog5037 to the Greekg1672.

11

For  athere is nog3756 partialityg4382 with Godg2316.

12

For allg3745 whog3745 have sinnedg264  1 awithoutg460 the Lawg460 will alsog2532 perishg622  1withoutg460 the Lawg460, and allg3745 whog3745 have sinnedg264  2underg1722 the Lawg3551 will be judgedg2919  3by the Lawg3551;

13

for it is  anot the hearersg202  1of the Lawg3551 who are  2justg1342 beforeg3844 Godg2316, but the doersg4163  1of the Lawg3551 will be justifiedg1344.

14

For wheng3752 Gentilesg1484 who do not haveg2192  1the Lawg3551 dog4160  2 ainstinctivelyg5449 the things of the Lawg3551, theseg3778, not havingg2192  1the Lawg3551, are a lawg3551 to themselvesg1438,

15

in that they showg1731  athe workg2041 of the Lawg3551 writteng1123 in their heartsg2588, their conscienceg4893 bearingg4828 witnessg4828 and their thoughtsg3053 alternatelyg3342 accusingg2723 org2228 elseg2532 defendingg626 them,

16

on the dayg2250 wheng3739,  aaccordingg2596 to my gospelg2098,  bGodg2316 will judgeg2919 the secretsg2927 of meng444 throughg1223 Christg5547 Jesusg2424.

The Jew Is Condemned by the Law

17

But ifg1487 you bearg2028 the nameg2028 "Jewg2453" and  arelyg1879  1upon the Lawg3551 and boastg2744 in Godg2316,

18

and knowg1097 His willg2307 and  1 aapproveg1381a the things that are essentialg1308, being instructedg2727 out of the Lawg3551,

19

and are confidentg3982 that you yourselfg4572 are a guideg3595 to the blindg5185, a lightg5457 to thoseg3588 who are in darknessg4655,

20

a  1correctorg3810 of the foolishg878, a teacherg1320 of  2the immatureg3516, havingg2192 in the Lawg3551  athe embodimentg3446 of knowledgeg1108 and of the truthg225,

21

you, thereforeg3767,  awho teachg1321 anotherg2087, do you not teachg1321 yourselfg4572? You who  1preachg2784 that one shall not stealg2813, do you stealg2813?

22

You who sayg3004 that one should not commitg3431 adulteryg3431, do you commitg3431 adulteryg3431? You who abhorg948 idolsg1497, do you  arobg2416 templesg2416?

23

You whog3739  aboastg2744  1in the Lawg3551, throughg1223 your breakingg3847 the Lawg3551, do you dishonorg818 Godg2316?

24

For " aTHE NAMEg3686 OF GODg2316 IS BLASPHEMEDg987 AMONGg1722 THE GENTILESg1484  bBECAUSEg1223 OF YOU," justg2531a as it is writteng1125.

25

For indeedg3303a circumcisiong4061 is of valueg5623 ifg1437 you  apracticeg4238  1the Lawg3551; but ifg1437 you are a transgressorg3848  2of the Lawg3551,  byour circumcisiong4061 has becomeg1096 uncircumcisiong203.

26

 aSog3767 ifg1437  bthe  1uncircumcisedg203 mang203  ckeepsg5442 the requirementsg1345 of the Lawg3551, will not his uncircumcisiong203 be regardedg3049 as circumcisiong4061?

27

And  ahe who is physicallyg5449 uncircumcisedg203, if he keepsg5055 the Lawg3551, will he not  bjudgeg2919 you whog3588  1thoughg1223 having the letterg1121 of the Law and circumcisiong4061 are a transgressorg3848  2of the Lawg3551?

28

For  ahe is not a Jewg2453 whog3588 is one outwardlyg1722g5318, norg3761 is circumcisiong4061 that which is outwardg5318 in the fleshg4561.

29

But  ahe is a Jewg2453 whog3588 is one inwardlyg2927; and  bcircumcisiong4061 is that which is of the heartg2588, by the  cSpiritg4151, not by the letterg1121;  dand his praiseg1868 is not from meng444, but from Godg2316.
