1 Therfore arte thou inexcusable o man whosoever thou be yt iudgest. For in ye same wherin thou iudgest another thou condemnest thy selfe. For thou that iudgest doest eve the same selfe thinges Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
2 But we are sure that the iudgement of God is accordinge to trueth agaynst them which commit soche thinges. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
3 Thikest thou this O thou ma that iudgest them which do soche thinges and yet doest eve the very same yt thou shalt escape ye iudgemet of God? Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?
4 Ether despisest thou the riches of his goodnes paciece and longe sufferaunce? and remembrest not how that the kyndnes of God ledith the to repentaunce? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
5 But thou after thyne harde herte yt canot repet heapest ye togedder the treasure of wrath agaynste the daye of vengeauce when shalbe opened ye rightewes iudgemet of god But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. 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.
6 which will rewarde every ma accordinge to his dedes: He will render to each one according to his works: God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”
7 that is to saye prayse honoure and immortalite to them which cotinue in good doynge and seke eternall lyfe. to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
8 But vnto them that are rebellious and disobey the trueth yet folowe iniquytie shall come indignacion and wrath but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
9 tribulacion and anguysshe vpon the soule of every man that doth evyll: of the Iewe fyrst and also of the gentyll. There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;
10 To every man that doth good shall come prayse honoure and peace to ye Iewe fyrst and also to the gentyll. but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
11 For ther is no parcialyte with god. But whosoever hath synned with out lawe shall perisshe wt out lawe. For God shows no partiality. For God does not show favoritism.
12 And as many as haue synned vnder the lawe shalbe iudged by the lawe. For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 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.
13 For before god they are not ryghteous which heare ye lawe: but the doers of the lawe shalbe iustified. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 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.
14 For if the gentyls which have no lawe do of nature the thynges contayned in the lawe: then they havynge no lawe are a lawe vnto them selves For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. (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.
15 which shewe the dede of the lawe wrytten in their hertes: whyll their conscience beareth witnes vnto them and also their thoughtes accusynge one another or excusynge They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
16 at the daye when god shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ accordinge to my Gospell. on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
17 Beholde thou arte called a Iewe and trustest in the lawe and reioysist in God But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;
18 and knowest his will and hast experience of good and bad in that thou arte informed by the lawe: and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;
19 and belevest that thou thy silfe arte a gyde vnto the blynde a lyght to them which are in darcknes and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark,
20 an informer of them which lacke discrecio a teacher of vnlearned which hast the ensample of that which ought to be knowen and of the truth in the lawe. an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—
21 But thou which teachest another teachest not thy selfe. Thou preachest a man shuld not steale: and yet thou stealest. you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
22 Thou sayst a man shuld not commit advoutry: and thou breakest wedlocke. Thou abhorrest ymages and robbest God of his honoure. You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 Thou reioysest in the lawe and thorow breakinge the lawe dishonourest God. You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law. You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
24 For the name of god is evyll spoken of amonge the Gentyls thorowe you as it is written. For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
25 Circumcisio verely avayleth if thou kepe the lawe. But if thou breake the lawe thy circumcision is made vncircumcision. For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.
26 Therfore if the vncircumcised kepe the ryght thinges contayned in the lawe: shall not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision? So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?
27 And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature (yf it kepe the lawe) iudge the which beynge vnder the letter and circumcision dost transgresse the lawe? Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
28 For he is not a Iewe which is a Iewe out warde. Nether is that thynge circumcision which is outwarde in the flesshe. For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
29 But he is a Iewe which is hid wythin and the circucisio of ye herte is the true circumcision which is in the sprete and not in ye letter whose prayse is not of men but of god. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.
