The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 propter quod inexcusabilis es o homo omnis qui iudicas in quo enim iudicas alterum te ipsum condemnas eadem enim agis qui iudicas
1
Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
2 scimus enim quoniam iudicium Dei est secundum veritatem in eos qui talia agunt
2
But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3 existimas autem hoc o homo qui iudicas eos qui talia agunt et facis ea quia tu effugies iudicium Dei
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 an divitias bonitatis eius et patientiae et longanimitatis contemnis ignorans quoniam benignitas Dei ad paenitentiam te adducit
4
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5 secundum duritiam autem tuam et inpaenitens cor thesaurizas tibi iram in die irae et revelationis iusti iudicii Dei
5
But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
6 qui reddet unicuique secundum opera eius
6
who "will render to each one according to his deeds":
7 his quidem qui secundum patientiam boni operis gloriam et honorem et incorruptionem quaerentibus vitam aeternam
7
eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;
8 his autem qui ex contentione et qui non adquiescunt veritati credunt autem iniquitati ira et indignatio
8
but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness--indignation and wrath,
9 tribulatio et angustia in omnem animam hominis operantis malum Iudaei primum et Graeci
9
tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;
10 gloria autem et honor et pax omni operanti bonum Iudaeo primum et Graeco
10
but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
11 non est enim personarum acceptio apud Deum
11
For there is no partiality with God.
12 quicumque enim sine lege peccaverunt sine lege et peribunt et quicumque in lege peccaverunt per legem iudicabuntur
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 non enim auditores legis iusti sunt apud Deum sed factores legis iustificabuntur
13
(for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
14 cum enim gentes quae legem non habent naturaliter quae legis sunt faciunt eiusmodi legem non habentes ipsi sibi sunt lex
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 qui ostendunt opus legis scriptum in cordibus suis testimonium reddente illis conscientia ipsorum et inter se invicem cogitationum accusantium aut etiam defendentium
15
who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)
16 in die cum iudicabit Deus occulta hominum secundum evangelium meum per Iesum Christum
16
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
17 si autem tu Iudaeus cognominaris et requiescis in lege et gloriaris in Deo
17
Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God,
18 et nosti voluntatem et probas utiliora instructus per legem
18
and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 confidis te ipsum ducem esse caecorum lumen eorum qui in tenebris sunt
19
and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 eruditorem insipientium magistrum infantium habentem formam scientiae et veritatis in lege
20
an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law.
21 qui ergo alium doces te ipsum non doces qui praedicas non furandum furaris
21
You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?
22 qui dicis non moechandum moecharis qui abominaris idola sacrilegium facis
22
You who say, "Do not commit adultery," do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 qui in lege gloriaris per praevaricationem legis Deum inhonoras
23
You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?
24 nomen enim Dei per vos blasphematur inter gentes sicut scriptum est
24
For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.
25 circumcisio quidem prodest si legem observes si autem praevaricator legis sis circumcisio tua praeputium facta est
25
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 si igitur praeputium iustitias legis custodiat nonne praeputium illius in circumcisionem reputabitur
26
Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
27 et iudicabit quod ex natura est praeputium legem consummans te qui per litteram et circumcisionem praevaricator legis es
27
And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?
28 non enim qui in manifesto Iudaeus est neque quae in manifesto in carne circumcisio
28
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;
29 sed qui in abscondito Iudaeus et circumcisio cordis in spiritu non littera cuius laus non ex hominibus sed ex Deo est
29
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 from men but from God.
