God’s Righteous Judgment
(Psalm 75:1–10)

1Therefore art thou inexcusable, O ma, whosoeuer thou be that iudgest. For in that same wherin thou iudgest another, thou condempnest thy self. For thou that iudgest, doest euen ye selfe same thynges. 2But we are sure that the iudgement of god is according to the trueth, against them which commit such thynges. 3Thinkest thou this, O thou man that iudgest them whiche do such thynges, and doest the same thy selfe that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God? 4Eyther despisest thou the rychesse of his goodnes, & pacience, and long sufferaunce, not knowyng that the kyndnesse of god leadeth thee to repentauce? 5But thou after thy stubbernnesse and heart that can not repent, heapest vnto thy selfe wrath, agaynst the daye of wrath and declaration of the righteous iudgement of God: 6Which wyl rewarde euery man accordyng to his deedes: 7To them, whiche by continuyng in well doyng seke for glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, eternall lyfe. 8But vnto them that are contentious, & that do not obey the trueth, but obey vnrighteousnes shall come indignation, and wrath. 9Tribulation, and anguishe, vpon euery soule of man that doeth euyll, of the Iewe first, and also of the Greke: 10But glorie, and honour, and peace to euery man that doeth good, to ye Iewe first, and also to the Greke. 11For there is no respect of persos with God.

12For whosoeuer hath sinned without lawe, shall also perishe without lawe: And as many as haue sinned in ye lawe, shalbe iudged by the lawe. 13(For in the sight of God, they are not righteous whiche heare the lawe: but the doers of the lawe shalbe iustified. 14For when the Gentiles, which haue not the lawe, do of nature the thynges conteyned in the lawe: they hauing not the lawe, are a lawe vnto them selues. 15Which shewe the workes of the lawe written in their heartes, their conscience bearing them witnesse, & their thoughtes, accusyng one another, or excusyng,) 16At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christe, accordyng to my Gospell.

The Jews and the Law

17Behold, thou art called a Iewe, and restest in the lawe, and makest thy boast of God, 18And knowest his wyll, and alowest the thinges that be excellent, infourmed by the lawe: 19And beleuest that thou thy selfe art a guyde of the blynde, a lyght of them which are in darknesse, 20An infourmer of them whiche lacke discretion, a teacher of the vnlearned: which hast the fourme of knowledge, & of the trueth in the lawe. 21Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest not thy selfe? Thou preachest a man shoulde not steale, yet thou stealest. 22Thou that sayest a man shoulde not commit adulterie, breakest wedlocke. Thou abhorrest idoles, and yet robbest God of his honour. 23Thou that makest thy boast of ye lawe, through breakyng the lawe dishonorest God. 24For the name of God is euyll spoken of among the Gentiles, through you: As it is written.

25For circumcision veryly auayleth, yf thou kepe the lawe: But yf thou be a breaker of the lawe, thy circumcision is made vncircumcision. 26Therefore if the vncircumcisio kepe the ordinaunces of the law, shall not his vncircumcisio be counted for circumcisio? 27And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature, if it kepe the law, iudge thee, which beyng vnder the letter & circumcision, doest transgresse the lawe? 28For he is not a Iewe, whiche is a Iewe outwarde. Neither is that circucision which is outwarde in the fleshe: 29But he is a Iewe whiche is one inwardly, and the circumcisio of ye heart, which consisteth in the spirite, and not in the letter is circumcision whose prayse is not of men, but of God.
