002:010 But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 002:011 For there is no partiality with God. 002:012 For 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. 002:013 For it isn't the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified 002:014 (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, 002:015 in 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) 002:016 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ. 002:017 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, and rest on the law, and glory in God, 002:018 and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 002:019 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 002:020 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth. 002:021 You therefore who teach another, don't you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn't steal, do you steal? 002:022 You who say a man shouldn't commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 002:023 You who glory in the law, through your disobedience of the law do you dishonor God? 002:024 For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,"{Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22} just as it is written. 002:025 For 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. 002:026 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won't his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision? 002:027 Won'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? 002:028 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; 002:029 but 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. 003:001 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision? 003:002 Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 003:003 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God? 003:004 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar.
