Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Propter quod inexcusabilis es, o homo omnis qui judicas. In quo enim judicas alterum, teipsum condemnas: eadem enim agis quæ judicas.
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.
2Scimus enim quoniam judicium Dei est secundum veritatem in eos qui talia agunt.
2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3Existimas autem hoc, o homo, qui judicas eos qui talia agunt, et facis ea, quia tu effugies judicium Dei?
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?
4an divitias bonitatis ejus, et patientiæ, et longanimitatis contemnis? ignoras quoniam benignitas Dei ad pœnitentiam te adducit?
4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5Secundum autem duritiam tuam, et impœnitens cor, thesaurizas tibi iram in die iræ, et revelationis justi judicii Dei,
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;
6qui reddet unicuique secundum opera ejus:
6Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7iis quidem qui secundum patientiam boni operis, gloriam, et honorem, et incorruptionem quærunt, vitam æternam:
7To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8iis autem qui sunt ex contentione, et qui non acquiescunt veritati, credunt autem iniquitati, ira et indignatio.
8But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9Tribulatio et angustia in omnem animam hominis operantis malum, Judæi primum, et Græci:
9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10gloria autem, et honor, et pax omni operanti bonum, Judæo primum, et Græco:
10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11non enim est acceptio personarum apud Deum.
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
12Quicumque enim sine lege peccaverunt, sine lege peribunt: et quicumque in lege peccaverunt, per legem judicabuntur.
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;
13Non enim auditores legis justi sunt apud Deum, sed factores legis justificabuntur.
13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14Cum autem gentes, quæ legem non habent, naturaliter ea, quæ legis sunt, faciunt, ejusmodi legem non habentes, ipsi sibi sunt lex:
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:
15qui ostendunt opus legis scriptum in cordibus suis, testimonium reddente illis conscientia ipsorum, et inter se invicem cogitationibus accusantibus, aut etiam defendentibus,
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;)
16in die, cum judicabit Deus occulta hominum, secundum Evangelium meum per Jesum Christum.
16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17Si autem tu Judæus cognominaris, et requiescis in lege, et gloriaris in Deo,
17Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18et nosti voluntatem ejus, et probas utiliora, instructus per legem,
18And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19confidis teipsum esse ducem cæcorum, lumen eorum qui in tenebris sunt,
19And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20eruditorem insipientium, magistrum infantium, habentem formam scientiæ, et veritatis in lege.
20An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21Qui ergo alium doces, teipsum non doces: qui prædicas non furandum, furaris:
21Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22qui dicis non mœchandum, mœcharis: qui abominaris idola, sacrilegium facis:
22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23qui in lege gloriaris, per prævaricationem legis Deum inhonoras.
23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24(Nomen enim Dei per vos blasphematur inter gentes, sicut scriptum est.)
24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25Circumcisio quidem prodest, si legem observes: si autem prævaricator legis sis, circumcisio tua præputium facta est.
25For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26Si igitur præputium justitias legis custodiat, nonne præputium illius in circumcisionem reputabitur?
26Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27et judicabit id quod ex natura est præputium, legem consummans, te, qui per litteram et circumcisionem prævaricator legis es?
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?
28Non enim qui in manifesto, Judæus est: neque quæ in manifesto, in carne, est circumcisio:
28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29sed qui in abscondito, Judæus est: et circumcisio cordis in spiritu, non littera: cujus laus non ex hominibus, sed ex Deo est.
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.
