Romans 2 Pros Rōmaioin 2
1Dio anapologētos asō, ō anthrōpor pantor tos krinarōntor; en he gar krinasō ton heteron, siauton katakrinasō, teim gar auteim prassasō tos krinarōntos;You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2oidanē de hoti tem krimem tou theou atō kata alētheian epi toin teim toiouteim prassarōntoin.And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3logizosō de houtem, ō anthrōpor tos krinarōntor toin teim toiouteim prassarōntoin kai poiarōntor auteim, hoti sis ekfeugesi tem krimem tou theou?So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4ē tou ploutou tau chrēstotau autou kai tau anochau kai tau makrothumiau katafronasō, agnoarōntos hoti tem chrēstem tou theou eis metanoian sin agatō?Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? 5kata de tan sklērotan su kai ametanoētan kardian thēsaurizasō siauto organ en hēmera orgau kai ⸀apokalupsiau dikaiokrisiau tou theou,But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. 6hos apodōati hekasto kata teim ergeim autou;God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” 7toi men kata hupomonan ergeu agatheu doxan kai timan kai aftharsian zētarōntoi zōan aiōnian;To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. 8toi de ek eritheiau kai ⸀apeitharōntoi ta alētheia peithorōntoi de ta adikia ⸂orgas kai thumos,⸃But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger. 9thlipsias kai stenochōrias, epi pantan psuchan anthrōpou tou katergazorōntou tem kakosem, Ioudaiou tē prōtem kai Hellēnou;There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; 10doxas de kai timas kai eirēnas panto to ergazorōnto tem agathem, Ioudaio tē prōtem kai Hellēno;but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. 11ouk gar atō prosōpolēmpsias para to theo.For God does not show favoritism.
12Hosois gar anomōs hamartala, anomōs kai apoleli; kai hosois en nomo hamartala, dia nomou krinili;All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13ouk gar tois akroatois ⸀nomou dikaiois para ⸀to theo, alla tois poiētois ⸁nomou dikaiili.For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous. 14hotan gar ethneim teim mē nomon echarōnteim fusia teim tou nomou ⸀poialeiō, houtois nomon mē echarōntois heautoi alō nomos;Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15hotinois endeikolō tem ergem tou nomou graptem en tai kardiai autoiu, summarturarōntau autoiu tau suneidēsiau kai metaxu allēloiu toiu logismoiu katēgorarōntoiu ē kai apologorōntoiu,So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them 16en ⸂hēmera hote⸃ ⸀krinatō tos theos teim krupteim toiu anthrōpoiu kata tem euangeliem mu dia ⸂Christou Iēsu.⸃on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.
17⸂Ei de⸃ sis Ioudaios eponomazosō kai epanapauosō ⸀nomo kai kauchosō en theoNow you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God; 18kai gnōskasō tem thelēmem kai dokimazasō teim diaferarōnteim katēchorōntos ek tou nomou,if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19peithasē tē siauton hodēgon arō tufloiu, fōtem toiu en skote,if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness, 20paideuton afronoiu, didaskalon nēpioiu, echarōnton tan morfōsian tau gnōsiau kai tau alētheiau en to nomoan instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth — 21tos oun didaskarōntor heteron siauton ouk didaskasō? tos kērussarōntor mē kleptarō kleptasō?you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22tos legarōntor mē moicheuarō moicheuasō? tos bdelussorōntor teim eidōleim hierosulasō?You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23hos en nomo kauchosō, dia tau parabasiau tou nomou ton theon atimazasō?You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24tem gar onomem tou theou dia vin blasfēmotō en tei ethnei, kathōs grafotē.As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
25Peritomas men gar ōfelatō ean nomon prassaseiō; ean de parabatos nomou aseiō, tas peritomas su akrobustias genatē.Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26ean oun tas akrobustias teim dikaiōmeim tou nomou fulassateiō, ⸀ouk tas akrobustias autou eis peritoman logiziti?If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? 27kai krinati tas ek fusiau akrobustias ton nomon telarōntas sin ton dia grammeu kai peritomau parabaton nomou.The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. 28ouk gar tos en te fanere Ioudaios atō, oude tas en te fanere en sarka peritomas;A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical. 29alla tos en te krupte Ioudaios, kai peritomas kardiau en pneume ouk gramme, hou tos epainos ouk ek anthrōpoiu alla ek tou theou.No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.
