4 Or|strong="G2228" do|strong="G2532" yoʋ despise|strong="G2706" the|strong="G2532" riches|strong="G4149" of|strong="G2316" his|strong="G1519" kindness|strong="G5544", forbearance, and|strong="G2532" patience|strong="G3115", not|strong="G2532" knowing that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G2532" kindness|strong="G5544" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" leads|strong="G1519" yoʋ to|strong="G1519" repentance|strong="G3341"?

8 but|strong="G1161" for|strong="G1161" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" self-seeking and|strong="G2532" obey|strong="G3982" unrighteousness instead|strong="G1161" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" truth, there|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" anger|strong="G3709" and|strong="G2532" wrath|strong="G3709".
9 There|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" tribulation|strong="G2347" and|strong="G2532" distress|strong="G4730" for|strong="G1909" everyone|strong="G3956" who|strong="G3588" does|strong="G2716" evil|strong="G2556", the|strong="G2532" Jew|strong="G2453" first|strong="G4413" and|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Greek|strong="G1672";

11 For|strong="G1063" there|strong="G1063" is|strong="G1510" no|strong="G3756" partiality|strong="G4382" with|strong="G3844" God|strong="G2316".

14 For|strong="G1063" when|strong="G3752" Gentiles|strong="G1484", who|strong="G3588" do|strong="G4160" not|strong="G3361" have|strong="G2192" the|strong="G3588" law|strong="G3551", by|strong="G1438" nature|strong="G5449" do|strong="G4160" what|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" required by|strong="G1438" the|strong="G3588" law|strong="G3551", they|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2192" law|strong="G3551" to|strong="G3361" themselves|strong="G1438", even|strong="G1063" though|strong="G4160" they|strong="G3588" do|strong="G4160" not|strong="G3361" have|strong="G2192" the|strong="G3588" law|strong="G3551".

17 Behold, yoʋ call|strong="G2532" yoʋrself a|strong="G2532" Jew|strong="G2453" and|strong="G2532" rely|strong="G1879" on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" law|strong="G3551" and|strong="G2532" boast|strong="G2744" in|strong="G1722" God|strong="G2316".
18 Yoʋ know|strong="G1097" his|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2307" and|strong="G2532" approve|strong="G1381" what|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" excellent|strong="G1308", because|strong="G1537" yoʋ are|strong="G3588" instructed|strong="G2727" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551".
19 And|strong="G5037" yoʋ have|strong="G1510" confidence|strong="G3982" that|strong="G3588" yoʋ yoʋrself are|strong="G1510" a|strong="G1722" guide|strong="G3595" for|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" blind|strong="G5185", a|strong="G1722" light|strong="G5457" for|strong="G1722" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" darkness|strong="G4655",
20 an|strong="G2192" instructor|strong="G3810" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" foolish|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2192" teacher|strong="G1320" of|strong="G2532" children|strong="G3516", because|strong="G1722" yoʋ have|strong="G2192" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" law|strong="G3551" the|strong="G1722" embodiment|strong="G3446" of|strong="G2532" knowledge|strong="G1108" and|strong="G2532" truth.
21 Yoʋ then|strong="G3767" who|strong="G3588" teach|strong="G1321" others|strong="G2087", do|strong="G3361" yoʋ not|strong="G3756" teach|strong="G1321" yoʋrself? Yoʋ who|strong="G3588" preach|strong="G2784" against|strong="G3361" stealing|strong="G2813", do|strong="G3361" yoʋ steal|strong="G2813"?
22 Yoʋ who|strong="G3588" tell|strong="G3004" others|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G3004" commit|strong="G3431" adultery|strong="G3431", do|strong="G3004" yoʋ commit|strong="G3431" adultery|strong="G3431"? Yoʋ who|strong="G3588" abhor idols|strong="G1497", do|strong="G3004" yoʋ rob|strong="G2416" temples|strong="G2416"?
23 Yoʋ who|strong="G3739" boast|strong="G2744" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" law|strong="G3551", do|strong="G1223" yoʋ dishonor God|strong="G2316" by|strong="G1223" transgressing|strong="G3847" the|strong="G1722" law|strong="G3551"?
24 As|strong="G2531" it|strong="G1063" is|strong="G3588" written|strong="G1125", “The|strong="G1722" name|strong="G3686" of|strong="G1223" God|strong="G2316" is|strong="G3588" blasphemed among|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Gentiles|strong="G1484" because|strong="G1223" of|strong="G1223" you|strong="G5210".”
25 Circumcision|strong="G4061" does|strong="G1510" indeed|strong="G3303" benefit|strong="G5623" yoʋ if|strong="G1437" yoʋ observe the|strong="G1161" law|strong="G3551", but|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1437" yoʋ transgress|strong="G3848" the|strong="G1161" law|strong="G3551", yoʋr circumcision|strong="G4061" has|strong="G1096" become|strong="G1096" uncircumcision.
26 If|strong="G1437" then|strong="G3767" an|strong="G1519" uncircumcised man|strong="G3756" keeps|strong="G5442" the|strong="G1519" ordinances|strong="G1345" of|strong="G3551" the|strong="G1519" law|strong="G3551", will|strong="G3767" not|strong="G3756" his|strong="G1519" uncircumcision be|strong="G3756" regarded|strong="G3049" as|strong="G1519" circumcision|strong="G4061"?
27 Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" who|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" physically|strong="G5449" uncircumcised and|strong="G2532" carries out|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551" will|strong="G2532" judge|strong="G2919" yoʋ who|strong="G3588", despite having|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" letter|strong="G1121" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551" and|strong="G2532" circumcision|strong="G4061", transgress|strong="G3848" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551".
