<h3>God's Righteous Judgment</h3>2 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. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 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? 4 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? 5 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. 6 He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality. <h3>God's Judgment and the Law</h3> 12 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. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 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. 15 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 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. 17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; 19 and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law. 24 For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” 25 For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. 28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 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.

Romans 2:1

Therefore you have <cr>1</cr>no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For <cr>2</cr>in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things.

Romans 2:2

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?

Romans 2:3

Or do you presume on <cr>1</cr>the riches of his kindness and <cr>2</cr>forbearance and <cr>3</cr>patience, <cr>4</cr>not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

Romans 2:4

But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are <cr>1</cr>storing up <cr>2</cr>wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

Romans 2:5

<cr>1</cr>He will render to each one according to his works:

Romans 2:6

to those who <cr>1</cr>by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;

Romans 2:7

but for those who are self-seeking<ft>1</ft> and <cr>1</cr>do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.

Romans 2:8

There will be tribulation and distress <cr>1</cr>for every human being who does evil, the Jew <cr>2</cr>first and also the Greek,

Romans 2:9

but glory and honor and <cr>1</cr>peace for everyone who does good, <cr>2</cr>the Jew first and also the Greek.

Romans 2:10

Romans 2:11

Romans 2:12

For all who have sinned <cr>1</cr>without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

For <cr>1</cr>it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

Romans 2:13

For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, <cr>1</cr>by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

Romans 2:14

They show that the work of the law is <cr>1</cr>written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them

Romans 2:15

<cr>1</cr>on that day when, <cr>2</cr>according to my gospel, God judges <cr>3</cr>the secrets of men <cr>4</cr>by Christ Jesus.

Romans 2:16

But if you call yourself a Jew and <cr>1</cr>rely on the law and boast in God

Romans 2:17

and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law;

Romans 2:18

and if you are sure that you yourself are <cr>1</cr>a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

Romans 2:19

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law <cr>1</cr>the embodiment of <cr>2</cr>knowledge and truth—

Romans 2:20

<cr>1</cr>you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal?

Romans 2:21

You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you <cr>1</cr>rob temples?

Romans 2:22

You who <cr>1</cr>boast in the law <cr>2</cr>dishonor God by breaking the law.

Romans 2:23

For, <cr>1</cr>as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed <cr>2</cr>among the Gentiles because of you.”

Romans 2:24

For circumcision indeed is of value <cr>1</cr>if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

Romans 2:25

So, if <cr>1</cr>a man who is uncircumcised keeps <cr>2</cr>the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded<ft>1</ft> as circumcision?

Romans 2:26

Then he who is physically<ft>1</ft> uncircumcised but keeps the law <cr>1</cr>will condemn you who have <cr>2</cr>the written code<ft>2</ft> and circumcision but break the law.

Romans 2:27

For <cr>1</cr>no one is a Jew <cr>2</cr>who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.

Romans 2:28

But a Jew is one <cr>1</cr>inwardly, and <cr>2</cr>circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. <cr>3</cr>His praise is not from man but from God.

Romans 2:29

 1 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. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 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? 4 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? 5 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. 6  He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who  by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking  and  do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress  for every human being who does evil, the Jew  first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and  peace for everyone who does good,  the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For  God shows no partiality. 12 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. 13 For  it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 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. 15 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 16  on that day when,  according to my gospel, God judges  the secrets of men  by Christ Jesus. 17 But if you call yourself a Jew and  rely on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; 19 and if you are sure that you yourself are  a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law  the embodiment of  knowledge and truth— 21  you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself?

You who abhor idols, do you  rob temples? 23 You who  boast in the law  dishonor God by breaking the law. 24 For,  as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed  among the Gentiles because of you.” 25 For circumcision indeed is of value  if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if  a man who is uncircumcised keeps  the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded  as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically  uncircumcised but keeps the law  will condemn you who have  the written code  and circumcision but break the law. 28 For  no one is a Jew  who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 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.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
