[영어 성경] Romans chapter 2

Ro. 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on

someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you

387

are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do

the same things.

Ro. 2:2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do

such things is based on truth.

Ro. 2:3 So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do

the same things, do you think you will escape God’s

judgment?

Ro. 2:4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness,

tolerance and patience, not realising that God’s kindness

leads you towards repentance?

Ro. 2:5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant

heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of

God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.

Ro. 2:6 God “will give to each person according to what he has

done”. [Psalm 62:12; Prov. 24:12]

Ro. 2:7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory,

honour and immortality, he will give eternal life.

Ro. 2:8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth

and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

Ro. 2:9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who

does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;

Ro. 2:10 but glory, honour and peace for everyone who does good:

first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Ro. 2:11 For God does not show favouritism.

Ro. 2:12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the

law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

Ro. 2:13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in

God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be

declared righteous.

Ro. 2:14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by

nature things required by the law, they are a law for

themselves, even though they do not have the law,

388

Ro. 2:15 since they show that the requirements of the law are written

on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and

their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.)

Ro. 2:16 This will take place on the day when God will judge men’s

secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

Ro. 2:17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law

and brag about your relationship to God;

Ro. 2:18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because

you are instructed by the law;

Ro. 2:19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light

for those who are in the dark,

Ro. 2:20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you

have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth —

Ro. 2:21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You

who preach against stealing, do you steal?

Ro. 2:22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you

commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

Ro. 2:23 You who brag about the law, do you dishonour God by

breaking the law?

Ro. 2:24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the

Gentiles because of you.” [Isaiah 52:5; Ezek. 36:22]

Ro. 2:25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you

break the law, you have become as though you had not been

circumcised.

Ro. 2:26 If those who are not circumcised keep the law’s

requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were

circumcised?

Ro. 2:27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the

law will condemn you who, even though you have the [Or

who, by means of a] written code and circumcision, are a

law-breaker.

389

Ro. 2:28 A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is

circumcision merely outward and physical.

Ro. 2:29 No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is

circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written

code. Such a man’s praise is not from men, but from God.
