Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
1Propter quod inexcusabilis es, o homo omnis qui judicas. In quo enim judicas alterum, teipsum condemnas: eadem enim agis quæ judicas.
2We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
2Scimus enim quoniam judicium Dei est secundum veritatem in eos qui talia agunt.
3Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
3Existimas autem hoc, o homo, qui judicas eos qui talia agunt, et facis ea, quia tu effugies judicium Dei?
4Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
4an divitias bonitatis ejus, et patientiæ, et longanimitatis contemnis? ignoras quoniam benignitas Dei ad pœnitentiam te adducit?
5But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,
5Secundum autem duritiam tuam, et impœnitens cor, thesaurizas tibi iram in die iræ, et revelationis justi judicii Dei,
6who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
6qui reddet unicuique secundum opera ejus:
7to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;
7iis quidem qui secundum patientiam boni operis, gloriam, et honorem, et incorruptionem quærunt, vitam æternam:
8but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
8iis autem qui sunt ex contentione, et qui non acquiescunt veritati, credunt autem iniquitati, ira et indignatio.
9oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
9Tribulatio et angustia in omnem animam hominis operantis malum, Judæi primum, et Græci:
10But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10gloria autem, et honor, et pax omni operanti bonum, Judæo primum, et Græco:
11For there is no partiality with God.
11non enim est acceptio personarum apud Deum.
12For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
12Quicumque enim sine lege peccaverunt, sine lege peribunt: et quicumque in lege peccaverunt, per legem judicabuntur.
13For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
13Non enim auditores legis justi sunt apud Deum, sed factores legis justificabuntur.
14(for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
14Cum autem gentes, quæ legem non habent, naturaliter ea, quæ legis sunt, faciunt, ejusmodi legem non habentes, ipsi sibi sunt lex:
15in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
15qui ostendunt opus legis scriptum in cordibus suis, testimonium reddente illis conscientia ipsorum, et inter se invicem cogitationibus accusantibus, aut etiam defendentibus,
16in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
16in die, cum judicabit Deus occulta hominum, secundum Evangelium meum per Jesum Christum.
17Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
17Si autem tu Judæus cognominaris, et requiescis in lege, et gloriaris in Deo,
18know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
18et nosti voluntatem ejus, et probas utiliora, instructus per legem,
19and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
19confidis teipsum esse ducem cæcorum, lumen eorum qui in tenebris sunt,
20a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
20eruditorem insipientium, magistrum infantium, habentem formam scientiæ, et veritatis in lege.
21You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
21Qui ergo alium doces, teipsum non doces: qui prædicas non furandum, furaris:
22You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
22qui dicis non mœchandum, mœcharis: qui abominaris idola, sacrilegium facis:
23You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
23qui in lege gloriaris, per prævaricationem legis Deum inhonoras.
24For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
24(Nomen enim Dei per vos blasphematur inter gentes, sicut scriptum est.)
25For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
25Circumcisio quidem prodest, si legem observes: si autem prævaricator legis sis, circumcisio tua præputium facta est.
26If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
26Si igitur præputium justitias legis custodiat, nonne præputium illius in circumcisionem reputabitur?
27Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
27et judicabit id quod ex natura est præputium, legem consummans, te, qui per litteram et circumcisionem prævaricator legis es?
28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
28Non enim qui in manifesto, Judæus est: neque quæ in manifesto, in carne, est circumcisio:
29but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
29sed qui in abscondito, Judæus est: et circumcisio cordis in spiritu, non littera: cujus laus non ex hominibus, sed ex Deo est.
