1 Wherefore 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.
1 POR lo cual eres inexcusable, oh hombre, cualquiera que juzgas: porque en lo que juzgas á otro, te condenas á ti mismo; porque lo mismo haces, tú que juzgas.
2 For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things.
2 Mas sabemos que el juicio de Dios es según verdad contra los que hacen tales cosas.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
3 ¿Y piensas esto, oh hombre, que juzgas á los que hacen tales cosas, y haces las mismas, que tú escaparás del juicio de Dios?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and patience, and longsuffering? Knowest thou not, that the benignity of God leadeth thee to penance?
4 ¿O menosprecias las riquezas de su benignidad, y paciencia, y longanimidad, ignorando que su benignidad te guía á arrepentimiento?
5 But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou treasurest up to thyself wrath, against the day of wrath, and revelation of the just judgment of God.
5 Mas por tu dureza, y por tu corazón no arrepentido, atesoras para ti mismo ira para el día de la ira y de la manifestación del justo juicio de Dios;
6 Who will render to every man according to his works.
6 El cual pagará á cada uno conforme á sus obras:
7 To them indeed, who according to patience in good work, seek glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life:
7 A los que perseverando en bien hacer, buscan gloria y honra é inmortalidad, la vida eterna.
8 But to them that are contentious, and who obey not the truth, but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation.
8 Mas á los que son contenciosos, y no obedecen á la verdad, antes obedecen á la injusticia, enojo é ira;
9 Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.
9 Tribulación y angustia sobre toda persona humana que obra lo malo, el Judío primeramente, y también el Griego:
10 But glory, and honour, and peace to every one that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 Mas gloria y honra y paz á cualquiera que obra el bien, al Judío primeramente, y también al Griego.
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
11 Porque no hay acepción de personas para con Dios.
12 For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law.
12 Porque todos los que sin ley pecaron, sin ley también perecerán; y todos los que en la ley pecaron, por la ley serán juzgados:
13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
13 Porque no los oidores de la ley son justos para con Dios, mas los hacedores de la ley serán justificados.
14 For 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:
14 Porque los Gentiles que no tienen ley, naturalmente haciendo lo que es de la ley, los tales, aunque no tengan ley, ellos son ley á sí mismos:
15 Who 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,
15 Mostrando la obra de la ley escrita en sus corazones, dando testimonio juntamente sus conciencias, y acusándose y también excusándose sus pensamientos unos con otros;
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
16 En el día que juzgará el Señor lo encubierto de los hombres, conforme á mi evangelio, por Jesucristo.
17 But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
17 He aquí, tú tienes el sobrenombre de Judío, y estás reposado en la ley, y te glorías en Dios,
18 And knowest his will, and approvest the more profitable things, being instructed by the law,
18 Y sabes su voluntad, y apruebas lo mejor, instruído por la ley;
19 Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,
19 Y confías que eres guía de los ciegos, luz de los que están en tinieblas,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.
20 Enseñador de los que no saben, maestro de niños, que tienes la forma de la ciencia y de la verdad en la ley:
21 Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest not thyself: thou that preachest that men should not steal, stealest:
21 Tú pues, que enseñas á otro, ¿no te enseñas á ti mismo? ¿Tú, que predicas que no se ha de hurtar, hurtas?
22 Thou that sayest, men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege:
22 ¿Tú, que dices que no se ha de adulterar, adulteras? ¿Tú, que abominas los ídolos, cometes sacrilegio?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest God.
23 ¿Tú, que te jactas de la ley, con infracción de la ley deshonras á Dios?
24 (For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.)
24 Porque el nombre de Dios es blasfemado por causa de vosotros entre los Gentiles, como está escrito.
25 Circumcision profiteth indeed, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
25 Porque la circuncisión en verdad aprovecha, si guardares la ley; mas si eres rebelde á la ley, tu circuncisión es hecha incircuncisión.
26 If, then, the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
26 De manera que, si el incircunciso guardare las justicias de la ley, ¿no será tenida su incircuncisión por circuncisión?
27 And 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?
27 Y lo que de su natural es incircunciso, guardando perfectamente la ley, te juzgará á ti, que con la letra y con la circuncisión eres rebelde á la ley.
28 For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly; nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh:
28 Porque no es Judío el que lo es en manifiesto; ni la circuncisión es la que es en manifiesto en la carne:
29 But 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.
29 Mas es Judío el que lo es en lo interior; y la circuncisión es la del corazón, en espíritu, no en letra; la alabanza del cual no es de los hombres, sino de Dios.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
After saying that the Gentile wanteth nothing appertaining to salvation if he be a doer of the Law, and after making that wonderful comparison, he goes on to set down the glories of the Jews, owing to which they thought scorn of the Gentiles: and first the very name itself, which was of great majesty, as the name Christian is …

Those, on the other hand, who depart from Him, and despise His precepts, and by their deeds bring dishonour on Him who made them, and by their opinions blaspheme Him who nourishes them, heap up against themselves most righteous judgment. He therefore (i.e., the spiritual man) sifts and tries them all, but he himself is tried by no man: he …
And who is this but Thee, our God, the sweetness and well-spring of righteousness, who renderest "to every man according to his deeds," and despisest not "a broken and a contrite heart!"

For as teaching without doing condemns the teacher (for "thou which teachest another," it is said, "teachest thou not thyself"?) so doing but not guiding others, lessens our reward.

For Jesus the King when about to become our Physician, girded Himself with the linen of humanity, and healed that which was sick. The perfect Teacher of babes became a babe among babes, that He might give wisdom to the foolish.
