Questions or CommentsRomans 2: 5-95but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;6who will render to every man according to his deeds:7to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:8but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,9tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

Romans 2: 10-1110but glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:11for there is no respect of persons with God.Romans 2:12-1312For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;13(for not the hearers of the lawarejust before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.Romans 2:14-1614For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:15which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, andtheirthoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)16in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.Romans 2:17-2017Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,18and knowesthiswill, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;19and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,20an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.Romans 2:21-2421Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?23thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

Romans 2:25-2925For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.26Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?27And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neitheris thatcircumcision, which is outward in the flesh:29but heisa Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcisionis thatof the heart, in the spirit,andnot in the letter; whose praiseisnot of men, but of God.
