Romans 2 - Evangelical Heritage Version - 2021（EHV）

God Will Judge What Each Person Does

1Therefore, you are without excuse, every one of you who judges someone else, because by judging the other person you also condemn yourself, since you, who are judging, are doing the very same things.

2And we know that God's judgment on those who do such things is based on the truth.

3Are you thinking that you will escape God's judgment, you who judge those who do such things and then do the same things yourself?

4Or do you have so little regard for his rich kindness, his restraint, and his patience, that you ignore the fact that the purpose of God's kindness is to lead you to repentance?

5As a result of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God will reveal his righteous judgment.

6God will repay each person according to what he has doneDoes Circumcision Make a Difference?

25Indeed, circumcision has value if you observe the law. On the other hand, if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26So, if an uncircumcised person keeps the righteous requirements of the law, won't his uncircumcision be credited to him as circumcision?

27The one who is not circumcised physically, but fulfills the law, will judge you who are a lawbreaker, even though you have the written law and circumcision.

28In fact, a Jew who is merely one outwardly is not really a Jew, and circumcision that is only outward in the flesh is not really circumcision.

29Rather, a real Jew is one on the inside, and his circumcision is of the heart—a spiritual circumcision, not one based on carrying out the letter of the law. That person's praise does not come from people but from God.
