Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Διά τούτο αναπολόγητος είσαι, ω άνθρωπε, πας όστις κρίνεις· διότι εις ό,τι κρίνεις τον άλλον, σεαυτόν κατακρίνεις· επειδή τα αυτά πράττεις συ ο κρίνων.
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.
1 Therefore 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.
2 Εξεύρομεν δε ότι η κρίσις του Θεού είναι κατά αλήθειαν εναντίον των πραττόντων τα τοιαύτα.
2 Mas sabemos que el juicio de Dios es según verdad contra los que hacen tales cosas.
2 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3 Και νομίζεις τούτο, ω άνθρωπε, συ ο κρίνων τους πράττοντας τα τοιαύτα και πράττων αυτά, ότι θέλεις εκφύγει την κρίσιν του Θεού;
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?
3 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4 Η καταφρονείς τον πλούτον της χρηστότητος αυτού και της υπομονής και της μακροθυμίας, αγνοών ότι η χρηστότης του Θεού σε φέρει εις μετάνοιαν;
4 ¿O menosprecias las riquezas de su benignidad, y paciencia, y longanimidad, ignorando que su benignidad te guía á arrepentimiento?
4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5 διά δε την σκληρότητά σου και αμετανόητον καρδίαν θησαυρίζεις εις σεαυτόν οργήν εν τη ημέρα της οργής και της αποκαλύψεως της δικαιοκρισίας του Θεού,
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;
5 But 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,
6 όστις θέλει αποδώσει εις έκαστον κατά τα έργα αυτού,
6 El cual pagará á cada uno conforme á sus obras:
6 who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
7 εις μεν τους ζητούντας δι' υπομονής έργου αγαθού, δόξαν και τιμήν και αφθαρσίαν ζωήν αιώνιον,
7 A los que perseverando en bien hacer, buscan gloria y honra é inmortalidad, la vida eterna.
7 to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;
8 εις δε τους φιλονείκους και απειθούντας μεν εις την αλήθειαν, πειθομένους δε εις την αδικίαν θέλει είσθαι θυμός και οργή,
8 Mas á los que son contenciosos, y no obedecen á la verdad, antes obedecen á la injusticia, enojo é ira;
8 but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
9 θλίψις και στενοχωρία επί πάσαν ψυχήν ανθρώπου του εργαζομένου το κακόν, Ιουδαίου τε πρώτον και Ελληνος·
9 Tribulación y angustia sobre toda persona humana que obra lo malo, el Judío primeramente, y también el Griego:
9 oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 δόξα δε και τιμή και ειρήνη εις πάντα τον εργαζόμενον το αγαθόν, Ιουδαίόν τε πρώτον και Ελληνα·
10 Mas gloria y honra y paz á cualquiera que obra el bien, al Judío primeramente, y también al Griego.
10 But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 επειδή δεν είναι προσωποληψία παρά τω Θεώ.
11 Porque no hay acepción de personas para con Dios.
11 For there is no partiality with God.
12 Διότι όσοι ημάρτησαν χωρίς νόμου, θέλουσι και απολεσθή χωρίς νόμου· και όσοι ημάρτησαν υπό νόμον, θέλουσι κριθή διά νόμου.
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:
12 For 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.
13 Διότι δεν είναι δίκαιοι παρά τω Θεώ οι ακροαταί του νόμου, αλλ' οι εκτελεσταί του νόμου θέλουσι δικαιωθή.
13 Porque no los oidores de la ley son justos para con Dios, mas los hacedores de la ley serán justificados.
13 For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
14 Επειδή όταν οι εθνικοί οι μη έχοντες νόμον πράττωσιν εκ φύσεως τα του νόμου, ούτοι νόμον μη έχοντες είναι νόμος εις εαυτούς,
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:
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,
15 οίτινες δεικνύουσι το έργον του νόμου γεγραμμένον εν ταις καρδίαις αυτών, έχοντες συμμαρτυρούσαν την συνείδησιν αυτών και τους λογισμούς κατηγορούντας ή και απολογουμένους μεταξύ αλλήλων,
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;
15 in 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)
16 εν τη ημέρα ότε θέλει κρίνει ο Θεός τα κρυπτά των ανθρώπων διά του Ιησού Χριστού κατά το ευαγγέλιόν μου.
16 En el día que juzgará el Señor lo encubierto de los hombres, conforme á mi evangelio, por Jesucristo.
16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
17 Ιδού, συ επονομάζεσαι Ιουδαίος και επαναπαύεσαι εις τον νόμον και καυχάσαι εις τον Θεόν,
17 He aquí, tú tienes el sobrenombre de Judío, y estás reposado en la ley, y te glorías en Dios,
17 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
18 και γνωρίζεις το θέλημα αυτού και διακρίνεις τα διαφέροντα, διδασκόμενος υπό του νόμου,
18 Y sabes su voluntad, y apruebas lo mejor, instruído por la ley;
18 know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 και έχεις πεποίθησιν εις σεαυτόν ότι είσαι οδηγός τυφλών, φως των εν σκότει,
19 Y confías que eres guía de los ciegos, luz de los que están en tinieblas,
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 παιδευτής αφρόνων, διδάσκαλος νηπίων, έχων τον τύπον της γνώσεως και της αληθείας εν τω νόμω.
20 Enseñador de los que no saben, maestro de niños, que tienes la forma de la ciencia y de la verdad en la ley:
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
21 Ο διδάσκων λοιπόν άλλον σεαυτόν δεν διδάσκεις; ο κηρύττων να μη κλέπτωσι κλέπτεις;
21 Tú pues, que enseñas á otro, ¿no te enseñas á ti mismo? ¿Tú, que predicas que no se ha de hurtar, hurtas?
21 You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
22 ο λέγων να μη μοιχεύωσι μοιχεύεις; ο βδελυττόμενος τα είδωλα ιεροσυλείς;
22 ¿Tú, que dices que no se ha de adulterar, adulteras? ¿Tú, que abominas los ídolos, cometes sacrilegio?
22 You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 ο καυχώμενος εις τον νόμον, ατιμάζεις τον Θεόν διά της παραβάσεως του νόμου;
23 ¿Tú, que te jactas de la ley, con infracción de la ley deshonras á Dios?
23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
24 Διότι το όνομα του Θεού εξ αιτίας σας βλασφημείται μεταξύ των εθνών, καθώς είναι γεγραμμένον.
24 Porque el nombre de Dios es blasfemado por causa de vosotros entre los Gentiles, como está escrito.
24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
25 Επειδή ωφελεί μεν η περιτομή, εάν εκτελής τον νόμον· εάν όμως ήσαι παραβάτης του νόμου, η περιτομή σου έγεινεν ακροβυστία.
25 Porque la circuncisión en verdad aprovecha, si guardares la ley; mas si eres rebelde á la ley, tu circuncisión es hecha incircuncisión.
25 For 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.
26 Εάν λοιπόν ο απερίτμητος φυλάττη τα διατάγματα του νόμου, η ακροβυστία αυτού δεν θέλει λογισθή αντί περιτομής;
26 De manera que, si el incircunciso guardare las justicias de la ley, ¿no será tenida su incircuncisión por circuncisión?
26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
27 και ο εκ φύσεως απερίτμητος, εκτελών τον νόμον, θέλει κρίνει σε όστις, έχων το γράμμα του νόμου και την περιτομήν, είσαι παραβάτης του νόμου.
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.
27 Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
28 Διότι Ιουδαίος δεν είναι ο εν τω φανερώ Ιουδαίος, ουδέ περιτομή η εν τω φανερώ η γινομένη εν σαρκί,
28 Porque no es Judío el que lo es en manifiesto; ni la circuncisión es la que es en manifiesto en la carne:
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
29 αλλ' Ιουδαίος είναι ο εν τω κρυπτώ Ιουδαίος, και περιτομή η της καρδίας κατά πνεύμα, ουχί κατά γράμμα, του οποίου ο έπαινος είναι ουχί εξ ανθρώπων, αλλ' εκ του Θεού.
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.
29 but 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.

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.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 10 (1888)
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.
