## Romans 2:1-29 in Context (Verses 1–29 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/romans/2/1) Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/romans/2/2) But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/romans/2/3) And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
 
 [4 ](/kjv/romans/2/4) Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
 
 [5 ](/kjv/romans/2/5) But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
 
 [6 ](/kjv/romans/2/6) Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
 
 [7 ](/kjv/romans/2/7) To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
 
 [8 ](/kjv/romans/2/8) But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
 
 [9 ](/kjv/romans/2/9) Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
 
 [10 ](/kjv/romans/2/10) But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
 
 [11 ](/kjv/romans/2/11) For there is no respect of persons with God.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/romans/2/12) For 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 ](/kjv/romans/2/13) (For not the hearers of the law *are* just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/romans/2/14) For 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:
 
 [15 ](/kjv/romans/2/15) Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and *their* thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/romans/2/16) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/romans/2/17) Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
 
 [18 ](/kjv/romans/2/18) And knowest *his* will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
 
 [19 ](/kjv/romans/2/19) And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
 
 [20 ](/kjv/romans/2/20) An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/romans/2/21) Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
 
 [22 ](/kjv/romans/2/22) Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
 
 [23 ](/kjv/romans/2/23) Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
 
 [24 ](/kjv/romans/2/24) For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/romans/2/25) For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/romans/2/26) Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
 
 [27 ](/kjv/romans/2/27) And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
 
 [28 ](/kjv/romans/2/28) For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither *is that* circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
 
 [29 ](/kjv/romans/2/29) But he *is* a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision *is that* of the heart, in the spirit, *and* not in the letter; whose praise *is* not of men, but of God.
