Romans 2:12-29

[12] For  as many as  have sinned  without law  also  perish  without law:  and  as many as  have sinned  in  the law  shall be judged  by  the law;  [13] (For  not  the hearers  of the law  are just  before  God,  but  the doers  of the law  shall be justified.  [14] For  when  the Gentiles,  which  have  not  the law,  do  by nature  the things  contained in the law,  these,  having  not  the law,  unto themselves:  [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] In  the day  when  God  shall judge  the secrets  of men  by  Jesus  Christ  according  gospel.  [17] thou  art called  a Jew,  and  restest  in the law,  and  makest thy boast  of  God,  [18] And  knowest  his will,  and  approvest  the things that are more excellent,  being instructed  out of  the law;  [19] And  art confident  that thou thyself  a guide  of the blind,  a light  of them which are in  darkness,  [20] An instructor  of the foolish,  a teacher  of babes,  which hast  the form  of knowledge  and  of the truth  in  the law.  [21] Thou therefore  which  teachest  another,  teachest thou  not  thyself?  thou that preachest  not  steal,  [22] Thou that sayest  not  commit adultery,  thou that abhorrest  idols,  dost thou commit sacrilege?  [23] Thou  that makest thy boast  of  the law,  through  breaking  the law  dishonourest thou  God?  [24] For  the name  of God  is blasphemed  among  the Gentiles  through  as  it is written.  [25] For  circumcision  verily  profiteth,  if  thou keep  the law:  but  if  a breaker  of the law,  circumcision  is made  uncircumcision.  [26] Therefore  if  the uncircumcision  keep  the righteousness  of the law,  his  uncircumcision  be counted  for  circumcision?  [27] And  uncircumcision  which is by  nature,  if it fulfil  the law,  judge  who by  the letter  and  circumcision  dost transgress  the law?  [28] For  not  a Jew,  which is one outwardly;  neither  is that circumcision,  which is outward  the flesh:  [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.
