1 Zato se ne možeš izgovoriti, o čoveče koji god sudiš! Jer kojim sudom sudiš drugom, sebe osuđuješ; jer to činiš sudeći. 2 A znamo da je sud Božji prav na one koji to čine. 3 Nego pomišljaš li, o čoveče koji sudiš onima koji to čine, i sam činiš to! da ćeš ti pobeći od suda Božijeg? 4 Ili ne mariš za bogatstvo Njegove dobrote i krotosti i trpljenja, ne znajući da te dobrota Božija na pokajanje vodi? 5 Nego svojom drvenosti i nepokajanim srcem sabiraš sebi gnev za dan gneva u koji će se pokazati pravedni sud Boga, 6 koji će dati svakome po delima njegovim: 7 Onima, dakle, koji su trpljenjem dela dobrog tražili slavu i čast i neraspadljivost, život večni; 8 a onima koji se uz prkos suprote istini, a pokoravaju se nepravdi, nemilost i gnev. 9 Nevolja i tuga na svaku dušu čoveka koji čini zlo, a najpre Jevrejina i Grka; 10 a slava i čast i mir svakome koji čini dobro, a najpre Jevrejinu i Grku; 11 jer Bog ne gleda ko je ko. 12 Jer koji bez zakona sagrešiše, bez zakona će i izginuti; i koji u zakonu sagrešiše, po zakonu će se osuditi 13 (jer pred Bogom nisu pravedni oni koji slušaju zakon, nego će se oni opravdati koji ga tvore; 14 jer kad neznabošci ne imajući zakon sami od sebe čine šta je po zakonu, oni zakon ne imajući sami su sebi zakon: 15 Oni dokazuju da je ono napisano u srcima njihovim što se čini po zakonu, budući da im savest svedoči, i misli među sobom tuže se ili pravdaju) 16 Na dan kada Bog uzasudi tajne ljudske po jevanđelju mom preko Isusa Hrista. 17 Gle, ti se zoveš Jevrejin, a oslanjaš se na zakon i hvališ se Bogom, 18 i poznaješ volju, i izbiraš šta je bolje, jer si naučen od zakona; 19 i misliš da si vođ slepima, videlo onima koji su u mraku, 20 nakazatelj bezumnima, učitelj deci, koji imaš ugled razuma i istine u zakonu. 21 Učeći, dakle, drugog sebe ne učiš; 22 propovedajući da se ne krade, kradeš; govoreći: Ne čini preljube, činiš preljubu: gadeći se na idole, kradeš svetinju; 23 koji se hvališ zakonom, a prestupom zakona sramotiš Boga. 24 Jer se ime Božije zbog vas huli u neznabošcima, kao što stoji napisano. 25 Obrezanje pomaže ako zakon držiš; ako li si prestupnik zakona, obrezanje je tvoje neobrezanje postalo. 26 Ako, dakle, neobrezanje pravdu zakona drži, zašto se ne bi njegovo neobrezanje za obrezanje uzelo? 27 I onaj koji je od roda neobrezan i izvršuje zakon, osudiće tebe koji si sa slovima i obrezanjem prestupnik zakona. 28 Jer ono nije Jevrejin koji je spolja Jevrejin, niti je ono obrezanje koje je spolja, na telu; 29 nego je ono Jevrejin koji je iznutra i obrezanje srca duhom a ne slovima, to je obrezanje; kome je hvala ne od ljudi nego od Boga.

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.
