12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

1:18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
1:19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
1:20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
1:21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
1:22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
1:23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
1:24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
1:25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
1:26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1:27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
1:28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
1:29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
1:30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
1:31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
1:32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
2:1THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2:2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
2:3And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
2:4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
2:5But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
2:6Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
2:7To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
2:8But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
2:9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
2:10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
2:11For there is no respect of persons with God.
2:12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
2:13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
2:14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
2:15Which 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;)
2:16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
2:17Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
2:18And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
2:19And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
2:20An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
2:21Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
2:22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
2:23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
2:24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
2:25For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
2:26Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
2:27And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
2:28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
2:29But 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.
1:18For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, who hold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
1:19Because that which may bee knowen of God, is manifest in ‖them, for God hath shewed it vnto them.
1:20For the inuisible things of him from the Creation of the world, are clearely seene, being vnderstood by the things that are made, euen his eternall Power and Godhead, ‖so that they are without excuse:
1:21Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened:
1:22Professing themselues to be wise, they became fooles:
1:23And changed the glory of the vncorruptible *God, into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birdes, and foure footed beasts, and creeping things:
1:24Wherefore God also gaue them vp to vncleannesse, through the lusts of their owne hearts, to dishonour their owne bodies betweene themselues:
1:25Who changed the trueth of God into a lye, and worshipped and serued the creature more then the Creatour, who is blessed for euer. Amen.
1:26For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature:
1:27And likewise also the men, leauing the naturall vse of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another, men with men working that which is vnseemely, and receiuing in themselues that recompense of their errour which was meet.
1:28And euen as they did not like to ‖retaine God in their knowledge, God gaue them ouer to ‖a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient:

1:30Backbiters, haters of God, despitefull, proude, boasters, inuenters of euill things, disobedient to parents;
1:31Without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without ‖naturall affection, implacable, vnmercifull;
1:32Who knowing the iudgement of God, (that they which commit such things, are worthy of death) not onely do the same, but ‖haue pleasure in them that doe them.
2:1¶ Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoeuer thou art that iudgest: for wherein thou iudgest another, thou condemnest thy selfe, for thou that iudgest doest the same things.
2:2But wee are sure that the iudgement of God is according to trueth, against them which commit such things.
2:3And thinkest thou this, O man, that iudgest them which doe such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God?
2:4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodnesse, and forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodnes of God leadeth thee to repentance?
2:5But after thy hardnesse, and impenitent heart, *treasurest vp vnto thy selfe wrath, against the day of wrath, and reuelation of the righteous iudgement of God:
2:6*Who will render to euery man according to his deedes:
2:7To them, who by patient continuance in well doing, seeke for glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, eternall life:
2:8But vnto them that are contentious, & doe not obey the trueth, but obey vnrighteousnes, indignation, & wrath,
2:9Tribulation, and anguish vpon euery soule of man that doeth euill, of the Iew first, and also of the †Gentile.
2:10But glory, honour, and peace, to euery man that worketh good, to the Iew first, and also to the †Gentile.
2:11For there is no respect of persons with God.
2:12For as many as haue sinned without Law, shall also perish without Law: and as many as haue sinned in the Law, shalbe iudged by the Law.
2:13(For not the hearers of the Law are iust before God, but the doers of the Law shalbe iustified;
2:14For when the Gentiles which haue not the Law, doe by nature the things contained in the Law: these hauing not the Law, are a Law vnto themselues,

2:18And knowest his will, and ‖approuest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the Law,
2:19And art confident that thou thy selfe art a guide of the blinde, a light of them which are in darkenesse:
2:20An instructour of the foolish, a teacher of babes: which hast the forme of knowledge and of the trueth in the Law:
2:21Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? thou that preachest a man should not steale, doest thou steale?
2:22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adulterie, doest thou commit adulterie? thou that abhorrest idols, doest thou commit sacriledge?
2:23Thou that makest thy boast of the Law, through breaking the Law dishonourest thou God?
2:24For the Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, through you, as it is *written:
2:25For Circumcision verily profiteth if thou keepe the Law: but if thou be a breaker of the Law, thy Circumcision is made vncircumcision.
2:26Therefore, if the vncircumcision keepe the righteousnesse of the Law, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for Circumcision?
2:27And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the Law, iudge thee, who by the letter, and Circumcision, doest transgresse the Law?
2:28For hee is not a Iew, which is one outwardly, neither is that Circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
2:29But he is a Iew 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.
