Judgement & Those Who Judge Others |
Romans 2:1-29 The Epistle [a.k.a. Letter] of Paul to the Romans [in Smaller Chunks] |
Therefore, you are inexcusable, O man, [whoever] you [are who judges] [others.] For [in] [whatever] you [judge] another, you [condemn] yourself. For you, [who judge, do] the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God, is according to truth, against those [who] commit such things. And [do] you [think] this, O man, [who judges, those who] do such things, & [do] the same, that you [shall] escape the judgment of God? Or [do] you [despise] the [richness] of His goodness; [patience;] & [tolerance,] not knowing that the goodness of God [leads] you to repentance? |
[2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack, [a.k.a. slow, about] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. *But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise, & the elements shall melt with fervent heat, & also the earth, & the works, [a.k.a. things made, in there] shall be burned up.] |
But in [anticipation of] the Day of Wrath, & [the revealing] of the righteous judgment of God, Who gives to every man according to his deeds, [don't] [store up for] yourself wrath, [a.k.a. fury, like a treasure, according] [to the] hardness [of] your & [unrepentant] heart. Seek for: glory, honor, immortality, & eternal Life, [which is given] to [those] who [patiently continue] [in] doing well. |
Tribulation & anguish, [a.k.a. distress,] [shall] 1st [be] upon the Jew, & also upon the Gentile, of every soul of man, [who does] [what is:] evil, & [those who] are: contentious, [a.k.a. argumentative,] & don't obey the Truth, but obey [what is:] [unrighteous, a.k.a. wicked; indignate, a.k.a. resentful;] & [are full of] wrath, [a.k.a. rage.] |
But glory, honor, & peace [are for] every man, [who] [does] good [deeds,] 1st to the Jew, & also to the Gentile. For with God, there is no respect, [a.k.a. favoritism toward people.] For [like] many have sinned without [knowing the] Law [of Moses:] & shall also perish without [the] Law. |
And [like] many have sinned [while knowing] the Law [of Moses,] shall be judged by the Law. (For [it's] not the hearers of the Law [who] are [justified,] before God, but [those] [who do] the Law, shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, [who didn't] have the Law, [but] [naturally did] the things contained in the Law, [without] having the Law, [have the] Law [within] themselves. |
[Jeremiah 31:33-34 *But this shall be the Covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] that I will make with the house of Israel. The Lord says, After those days, I will put My Law in their inward parts, [a.k.a. within them,] & write it in their hearts, & will be their God & they shall be My people. *And every man shall no [longer] teach his neighbor, & his brother, saying, Know the Lord. For they shall all know Me, from the [powerless] to the [powerful] of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquities, & I will no [longer] remember their sin.] |
[Those display] the [actions] of the Law written [within] their hearts. Their conscience also [bears] witness, [a.k.a. testifies;] [as well as:] their thoughts; & [what they] mean, & [testify whether they are:] accusing or else excusing, [a.k.a. forgiving,] one another;) [on that] day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to [the] Gospel, [that I preach,] [through] Jesus Christ. |
[Look,] you, [who] [are] called a Jew, [rest, a.k.a. relax,] in the Law [of Moses,] & you boast [about] [your relationship with] God. And [say you] [know God's] will, & [approve] [of] the [most] excellent things, being instructed [from] the Law. |
And [you,] [are] confident [within] yourself, that you [are] a guide [for] the blind, & a light [for those, who] are in darkness. |
[2 Corinthians 4:3-5 But if our Gospel [is hidden,] it is [hidden] to [those, who] are lost. In whom, this [world's] god, [has] blinded the minds of [those, who don't] believe, lest the Light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, Who Is the image of God, should shine to them. For we preach, [but] not ourselves, but Jesus Christ the Lord, & ourselves, your servants for Jesus' sake.] |
[And as] an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes [in the faith,] [who have] the form, [a.k.a. foundation,] of knowledge, & truth in the Law. Therefore you, [who teach others,] [why] [don't] you [teach] yourself? You, [who preaches] a man shouldn't steal, [do] you steal? |
You, [who say,] a man shouldn't commit adultery, [do] you commit adultery? You, [who hate] idols, [do] you commit sacrilege, [a.k.a. what is unfaithful to God?] You, [who] boast [about] the Law, [do] you [break] the Law through [dishonoring] God? For through you, The Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, [like] it is written [in the Scriptures.] |
[Ezekiel 36:22-23 Therefore, say to the house of Israel, the Lord God [says this;] I [don't] do this for your sales, O house of Israel, but for [My] Holy Name's sake, [that] you have profaned, [a.k.a. blasphemed or defiled,] among the heathen, [a.k.a. Gentiles, where] you went. And I will sanctify My Great Name, [that] was profaned among the heathen, [that] you have profaned in the midst of them. And the heathen shall know that I Am the Lord, when I shall be sanctified [in the midst of] you, [in front of] their eyes, [says] the Lord God.] |
For circumcision [truly] [profits, a.k.a. benefits,] if you keep the Law. But if you [are] a breaker of the Law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision, [a.k.a. like not being circumcised.] Therefore, if [those of] the uncircumcision, [a.k.a. uncircumcised,] keep the righteousness of the Law, [shouldn't] his uncircumcision, be [considered] [like] circumcision? |
And [do] you, [who] [have] [sinned against] the Law, judge [he] who [lives] by the letter [of the Law,] & [is] [circumcised,] [or he, who isn't] [circumcised,] which is by nature, [a.k.a. how he's born,] & [he] fulfills, [a.k.a. keeps,] the Law? [2 Corinthians 3:5-6 Not that we are sufficient [within] ourselves to think anything [about] ourselves, but our sufficiency is [from] God. Who also [has] made us able ministers of the New Testament, not [by] the letter [of the Law,] but [by] the spirit [of the Law,] for the letter [kills,] but the spirit, gives Life.] |
For he isn't a Jew, [who] is one outwardly. Neither is [it] [considered] circumcision, [that] is in the [outer] flesh. But he whose praise isn't [from] men, but [is] [from] God, is a Jew, [who] is one inwardly. And circumcision is that [within] the heart, & [within] the spirit, & not in the letter [of the Law.] |
