Coptic New Testament
1Wherefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou dost the same things which thou judgest.

2For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things.

14For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves:

15Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another,

25Circumcision profiteth indeed, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

26If, then, the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27And shall not that which by nature is uncircumcision, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?

28For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly; nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh:

29But he is a Jew, that is one inwardly; and the circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
