          DASV: Romans 2    

1 Therefore you are without excuse, whoever you are who judges
others. For in your judgment of someone else, you condemn
yourself; for you who judge do the very same things.
2 Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth
against those who practice such things.
3 Do you think, whoever you are, who judges those who practice
such things, and do the same yourself, that you will escape
the judgment of God?
4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, tolerance
and patience, not realizing that the goodness of God is
meant to lead you to repentance?
5 But because of your hard and unrepentant heart you are
storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath when
God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
6 He will render to everyone according to their works:
7 eternal life on those who by patience in doing good
seek for glory, honor and immortality,
8 but wrath and fury on those who are selfishly self-serving,
and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.
9 There will be tribulation and anguish on everyone who
does evil, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek,
10 but glory, honor and peace on everyone who does good,
for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
11 For there is no favoritism with God.
12 For as many as have sinned apart from the law will also
perish apart from the law, and as many as have sinned
under the law will be judged by the law.
13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before
God, but the doers of the law will be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles who do not have the law do by nature
the requirements of the law, these who do not have the law,
are a law to themselves.
15 They show the work of the law is written in their hearts,
for their conscience bears witness to this, and their
conflicting thoughts accusing or else excusing them,
16 on the day when God will judge the secrets of everyone,
according to my gospel, through Jesus Christ.
17 But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and
boast of a special relationship to God,
18 and know his will, and know the things that are excellent,
being instructed out of the law,
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the
blind, a light for those who are in darkness,
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having
in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth,
21 you who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who
preaches against stealing, do you steal?
22 You who say it is wrong to commit adultery, do you commit
adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 You who boast in the law, do you through your breaking the
law dishonor God?
24 Just as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among
the Gentiles because of you."
25 For circumcision is beneficial, if you obey the law, but
if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 If therefore one who is uncircumcised keeps the requirements
of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as
circumcision?
27 Will not those who are physically uncircumcised if they
keep the law, judge you who have the written code and
circumcision but break the law?
28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is
circumcision only that which is merely external in the flesh.
29 But someone is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision
is of the heart, in the spirit not in the written code.
Such a person does not receive praise from humans, but
from God.
