\subsection{Romans 2}
\VS{1} Therefore you are without defense, O every judging man, for when you judge 
the other, you condemn yourself. 
\VS{2} For we know that the judgment of God 
is according to truth upon those practicing such [things]. 
\VS{3} So do you consider 
this, O man judging those practicing such [things] and doing them [yourself], that you escape 
the judgment of God? 
\VS{4} Or do you despise the wealth of his generosity 
and forbearance and patience, being ignorant that the kindness of God brings 
you to repentance? 
\VS{5} So according to your hardness and unrepentant 
heart you treasure up to yourselves wrath in [the] day of wrath and revelation of 
[the] just judgment of God, 
\VS{6} who will render\footnote{or ``repay''} to each 
according to his works, 
\VS{7} to those according to endurance of [the] good work 
seeking glory and honor and immortality: eternal zoe-life\fnZoe{}, 
\VS{8} but to those 
of selfish ambition and [those] being disobedient to the truth but being obedient 
to injustice: wrath and rage. 
\VS{9} Affliction and anguish [is] upon every psyche-life\fnPsyche{} 
of man doing evil, of [the] Jew first and also of [the] Greek. 
\VS{10} But glory and 
honor and peace to all working good, to [the] Jew first and also to [the] Greek. 
\VS{11} For there is no partiality with God. 
\VS{12} For as many as sin 
without [the] law, they will also be released without [the] law; and as many as sin in 
[the] law, they will be judged through [the] law --- 
\VS{13} for not the hearer of 
[the] law is just before God, but [rather] the doer of the law is justified. 
\VS{14} For 
when the nations\footnote{i.e. the Gentiles''} not having the law do by 
nature the [things] of the law, these not having [the] law are law in themselves. 
\VS{15} 
These demonstrate the work of the law written in their hearts, their 
conscience co-witnessing and between reciprocal reasonings accusing and 
defending --- 
\VS{16} in which day God judges the hidden [things] of men according 
to my good-news through Christ Jesus. 
\VS{17} So if you be named Jew, you 
also rely on\footnote{or ``rest in''} the law and boast in God, 
\VS{18} and 
you know [his] will and approve the important [things] instructing from the law, 
\VS{19} 
and have persuaded yourself to be guide of the blind, light of [those] in darkness, 
\VS{20} instructor of the ignorant, teacher of children, having the 
embodiment\footnote{or ``outward form''} of knowledge and truth in the law. 
\VS{21} Therefore you teaching another, don't you teach yourself? You 
proclaiming to not be stealing, don't you steal? 
\VS{22} You saying to not 
be committing adultery, don't you commit adultery? You abhorring idols, do 
you rob temples? 
\VS{23} You who boast in the law, through transgression of 
the law don't you dishonor God? 
\VS{24} For the name of God through you is 
slandered among the nations\footnote{i.e. the Gentiles}, just as it is 
written. 
\VS{25} For indeed circumcision profits if you practice [the] law. But 
if you be [a] transgressor of the law, your circumcision is become 
uncircumcision. 
\VS{26} If therefore the uncircumcised guard the just 
[things] of the law, is not his uncircumcision reckoned to circumcision? 
\VS{27} And 
the uncircumcised from nature will judge you transgressor of [the] law, [you whom] the law 
has completed through letter and circumcision. 
\VS{28} For one is not Jew in 
the manifest [thing], neither [is] the circumcision in the manifest [thing] in the flesh, 
\VS{29} but [one is] Jew in the secret [thing], and circumcision [is] of [the] heart in [the] spirit, not 
in [the] letter, the praise of which is not from men but from God.
