로마서 2

1그러므로 남을 판단하는 사람아 무론 누구든지 네가 핑계치 못할 것은 남을 판단하는 것으로 네가 너를 정죄함이니 판단하는 네가 같은 일을 행함이니라 2이런 일을 행하는 자에게 하나님의 판단이 진리대로 되는 줄 우리가 아노라 3이런 일을 행하는 자를 판단하고도 같은 일을 행하는 사람아 네가 하나님의 판단을 피할 줄로 생각하느냐 4혹 네가 하나님의 인자하심이 너를 인도하여 회개케 하심을 알지 못하여 그의 인자하심과 용납하심과 길이 참으심의 풍성함을 멸시하느뇨 5다만 네 고집과 회개치 아니한 마음을 따라 진노의 날 곧 하나님의 의로우신 판단이 나타나는 그 날에 임할 진노를 네게 쌓는도다 6하나님께서 각 사람에게 그 행한 대로 보응하시되 7참고 선을 행하여 영광과 존귀와 썩지 아니함을 구하는 자에게는 영생으로 하시고 8오직 당을 지어 진리를 좇지 아니하고 불의를 좇는 자에게는 노와 분으로 하시리라 9악을 행하는 각 사람의 영에게 환난과 곤고가 있으리니 첫째는 유대인에게요 또한 헬라인에게며 10선을 행하는 각 사람에게는 영광과 존귀와 평강이 있으리니 첫째는 유대인에게요 또한 헬라인에게라 11이는 하나님께서 외모로 사람을 취하지 아니하심이니라 12무릇 율법 없이 범죄한 자는 또한 율법 없이 망하고 무릇 율법이 있고 범죄한 자는 율법으로 말미암아 심판을 받으리라 13하나님 앞에서는 율법을 듣는 자가 의인이 아니요 오직 율법을 행하는 자라야 의롭다 하심을 얻으리니 14(율법 없는 이방인이 본성으로 율법의 일을 행할 때는 이 사람은 율법이 없어도 자기가 자기에게 율법이 되나니 15이런 이들은 그 양심이 증거가 되어 그 생각들이 서로 혹은 송사하며 혹은 변명하여 그 마음에 새긴 율법의 행위를 나타내느니라) 16곧 내 복음에 이른 바와 같이 하나님이 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 사람들의 은밀한 것을 심판하시는 그 날이라 17유대인이라 칭하는 네가 율법을 의지하며 하나님을 자랑하며 18율법의 교훈을 받아 하나님의 뜻을 알고 지극히 선한 것을 좋게 여기며 19네가 율법에 있는 지식과 진리의 규모를 가진 자로서 소경의 길을 인도하는 자요 어두움에 있는 자의 빛이요 20어리석은 자의 훈도요 어린 아이의 선생이라고 스스로 믿으니 21그러면 다른 사람을 가르치는 네가 네 자신을 가르치지 아니하느냐 도적질 말라 반포하는 네가 도적질하느냐 22간음하지 말라 말하는 네가 간음하느냐 우상을 가증히 여기는 네가 신사 물건을 도적질하느냐 23율법을 자랑하는 네가 율법을 범함으로 하나님을 욕되게 하느냐 24기록된 바와 같이 하나님의 이름이 너희로 인하여 이방인 중에서 모독을 받는도다 25네가 율법을 행한즉 할례가 유익하나 만일 율법을 범한즉 네 할례가 무할례가 되었느니라 26그런즉 무할례자가 율법의 제도를 지키면 그 무할례를 할례와 같이 여길 것이 아니냐 27또한 본래 무할례자가 율법을 온전히 지키면 의문과 할례를 가지고 율법을 범하는 너를 판단치 아니하겠느냐 28대저 표면적 유대인이 유대인이 아니요 표면적 육신의 할례가 할례가 아니라 29오직 이면적 유대인이 유대인이며 할례는 마음에 할지니 신령에 있고 의문에 있지 아니한 것이라 그 칭찬이 사람에게서가 아니요 다만 하나님에게서니라

1Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things. 2We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God; 6who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:” 7to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; 8but to those who are self-seeking, and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation, 9oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 10But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God. 12For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified 14(for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them) 16in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ. 17Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, and rest on the law, and glory in God, 18and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth. 21You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal? 22You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23You who glory in the law, through your disobedience of the law do you dishonor God? 24For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written. 25For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision? 27Won’t the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law? 28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; 29but 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.

1Daarom zijt gij niet te verontschuldigen, o mens, wie gij zijt, die anderen oordeelt; want waarin gij een ander oordeelt, veroordeelt gij uzelven; want gij, die anderen oordeelt, doet dezelfde dingen. 2En wij weten, dat het oordeel Gods naar waarheid is, over degenen, die zulke dingen doen. 3En denkt gij dit, o mens, die oordeelt dengenen, die zulke dingen doen, en dezelve doet, dat gij het oordeel Gods zult ontvlieden? 4Of veracht gij den rijkdom Zijner goedertierenheid, en verdraagzaamheid, en lankmoedigheid, niet wetende, dat de goedertierenheid Gods u tot bekering leidt? 5Maar naar uw hardigheid, en onbekeerlijk hart, vergadert gij uzelven toorn als een schat, in den dag des toorns, en der openbaring van het rechtvaardig oordeel Gods. 6Welke een iegelijk vergelden zal naar zijn werken; 7Dengenen wel, die met volharding in goeddoen, heerlijkheid, en eer, en onverderfelijkheid zoeken, het eeuwige leven; 8Maar dengenen, die twistgierig zijn, en die der waarheid ongehoorzaam, doch der ongerechtigheid gehoorzaam zijn, zal verbolgenheid en toorn vergolden worden; 9Verdrukking en benauwdheid over alle ziel des mensen, die het kwade werkt, eerst van den Jood, en ook van den Griek; 10Maar heerlijkheid, en eer, en vrede een iegelijk, die het goede werkt, eerst den Jood, en ook den Griek. 11Want er is geen aanneming des persoons bij God. 12Want zovelen, als er zonder wet gezondigd hebben, zullen ook zonder wet verloren gaan; en zovelen, als er onder de wet gezondigd hebben, zullen door de wet geoordeeld worden; 13(Want de hoorders der wet zijn niet rechtvaardig voor God, maar de daders der wet zullen gerechtvaardigd worden; 14Want wanneer de heidenen, die de wet niet hebben, van nature de dingen doen, die der wet zijn, dezen, de wet niet hebbende, zijn zichzelven een wet; 15Als die betonen het werk der wet geschreven in hun harten, hun geweten medegetuigende, en de gedachten onder elkander hen beschuldigende, of ook ontschuldigende). 16In den dag wanneer God de verborgene dingen der mensen zal oordelen door Jezus Christus, naar mijn Evangelie. 17Zie, gij wordt een Jood genaamd en rust op de wet; en roemt op God, 18En gij weet Zijn wil, en beproeft de dingen, die daarvan verschillen, zijnde onderwezen uit de wet; 19En gij betrouwt uzelven te zijn een leidsman der blinden, een licht dergenen, die in duisternis zijn; 20Een onderrichter der onwijzen, en een leermeester der onwetenden, hebbende de gedaante der kennis en der waarheid in de wet. 21Die dan een anderen leert, leert gij uzelven niet? Die predikt, dat men niet stelen zal, steelt gij? 22Die zegt, dat men geen overspel doen zal, doet gij overspel? Die van de afgoden een gruwel hebt, berooft gij het heilige? 23Die op de wet roemt, onteert gij God door de overtreding der wet? 24Want de Naam van God wordt om uwentwil gelasterd onder de heidenen, gelijk geschreven is. 25Want de besnijdenis is wel nut, indien gij de wet doet; maar indien gij een overtreder der wet zijt, zo is uw besnijdenis voorhuid geworden. 26Indien dan de voorhuid de rechten der wet bewaart, zal niet zijn voorhuid tot een besnijdenis gerekend worden? 27En zal de voorhuid, die uit de natuur is, als zij de wet volbrengt, u niet oordelen, die door de letter en besnijdenis een overtreder der wet zijt? 28Want die is niet een Jood, die het in het openbaar is; noch die is de besnijdenis, die het in het openbaar in het vlees is; 29Maar die is een Jood, die het in het verborgen is, en de besnijdenis des harten, in den geest, niet in de letter, is de besnijdenis; wiens lof niet is uit de mensen, maar uit God.
