All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| Romans 2:8 | but to those (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) who are self-seeking and do not obey the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) truth but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. |
| Romans 2:9 | There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) does evil, for the Jew first and also for the Greek, |
| Romans 2:10 | but glory and honor and peace for everyone who (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) does good, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. |
| Romans 2:11 | there is no favoritism with God: |
| Romans 2:13 | for it is not the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) doers of the law who will be declared righteous. |
| Romans 2:14 | whenever the Gentiles, who (ta | τά | nom pl neut) do not have the law, do by nature the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) things required by the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) law, these, although they do not have the law, are a law to themselves. |
| Romans 2:15 | They show that the (to | τό | acc sg neut) work of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) law is written on their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their conflicting thoughts accusing or else defending them, |
| Romans 2:16 | on the day when God judges the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) secrets of (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) everyone according to my gospel through Christ Jesus. |
| Romans 2:18 | and know his (to | τό | acc sg neut) will, and approve the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) things that excel because you are instructed by the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) law, |
| Romans 2:19 | and are convinced that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light for those (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) who are in darkness, |
| Romans 2:20 | a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of little children, having in the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) law the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) embodiment of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) knowledge and of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) truth — |
| Romans 2:21 | you (ho | ὁ | voc sg masc), then, who teach others, will you not teach yourself? You (ho | ὁ | voc sg masc) who preach against stealing, do you steal? |
| Romans 2:22 | You (ho | ὁ | voc sg masc) who tell others not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You (ho | ὁ | voc sg masc) who abhor idols, do you rob temples? |
| Romans 2:23 | You who boast in the law, by your (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) breaking of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) law you dishonor God! |
| Romans 2:24 | For as it is written, “On account of you the (to | τό | nom sg neut) name of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God is being blasphemed among the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl neut) Gentiles.” |
| Romans 2:25 | to be sure, circumcision is of value if you practice the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. |
| Romans 2:26 | Therefore if the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) uncircumcised man keeps the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) righteous requirements of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? |
| Romans 2:27 | And will not the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) one who by nature is uncircumcised yet fulfills the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) law judge you who (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) have the written code and circumcision yet are a transgressor of the law? |
| Romans 2:28 | For that person is not a (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. |
| Romans 2:29 | But a person is a Jew who (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit and not by the written code. That person’s praise comes not from man but from God. |
| Romans 3:1 | What advantage then has the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Jew? Or what is the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) value of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) circumcision? |
| Romans 3:2 | Much in every way. first of all, they were entrusted with the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) oracles of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God. |
| Romans 3:3 | But what if some were unfaithful, will their lack of faith nullify the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) faithfulness of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God? |
| Romans 3:4 | By no means! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written, “so that you may be justified in your words and prevail when you are judged.” |
| Romans 3:5 | But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I use a human argument!) |
