Romanos 2
Riveduta 1927
1Perciò, o uomo, chiunque tu sii che giudichi, sei inescusabile; poiché nel giudicare gli altri, tu condanni te stesso; poiché tu che giudichi, fai le medesime cose.
2Or noi sappiamo che il giudizio di Dio su quelli che fanno tali cose è conforme a verità.
3E pensi tu, o uomo che giudichi quelli che fanno tali cose e le fai tu stesso, di scampare al giudizio di Dio?
4Ovvero sprezzi tu le ricchezze della sua benignità, della sua pazienza e della sua longanimità, non riconoscendo che la benignità di Dio ti trae a ravvedimento?
5Tu invece, seguendo la tua durezza e il tuo cuore impenitente, t’accumuli un tesoro d’ira, per il giorno dell’ira e della rivelazione del giusto giudizio di Dio,
6il quale renderà a ciascuno secondo le sue opere:
7vita eterna a quelli che con la perseveranza nel bene oprare cercano gloria e onore e immortalità;
8ma a quelli che son contenziosi e non ubbidiscono alla verità ma ubbidiscono alla ingiustizia, ira e indignazione.
9Tribolazione e angoscia sopra ogni anima d’uomo che fa il male; del Giudeo prima, e poi del Greco;
10ma gloria e onore e pace a chiunque opera bene; al Giudeo prima e poi al Greco;
11poiché dinanzi a Dio non c’è riguardo a persone.
12Infatti, tutti coloro che hanno peccato senza legge, periranno pure senza legge; e tutti coloro che hanno peccato avendo legge, saranno giudicati con quella legge;
13poiché non quelli che ascoltano la legge son giusti dinanzi a Dio, ma quelli che l’osservano saranno giustificati.
14Infatti, quando i Gentili che non hanno legge, adempiono per natura le cose della legge, essi, che non hanno legge, son legge a se stessi;
15essi mostrano che quel che la legge comanda è scritto nei loro cuori per la testimonianza che rende loro la coscienza, e perché i loro pensieri si accusano od anche si scusano a vicenda.
16Tutto ciò si vedrà nel giorno in cui Dio giudicherà i segreti degli uomini per mezzo di Gesù Cristo, secondo il mio Evangelo.
17Or se tu ti chiami Giudeo, e ti riposi sulla legge, e ti glorii in Dio,
18e conosci la sua volontà, e discerni la differenza delle cose essendo ammaestrato dalla legge,
19e ti persuadi d’esser guida de’ ciechi, luce di quelli che sono nelle tenebre,
20educatore degli scempi, maestro dei fanciulli, perché hai nella legge la formula della conoscenza e della verità,
21come mai, dunque, tu che insegni agli altri non insegni a te stesso? Tu che predichi che non si deve rubare, rubi?
22Tu che dici che non si deve commettere adulterio, commetti adulterio? Tu che hai in abominio gl’idoli, saccheggi i templi?
23Tu che meni vanto della legge, disonori Dio trasgredendo la legge?
24Poiché, siccome è scritto, il nome di Dio, per cagion vostra, è bestemmiato fra i Gentili.
25Infatti ben giova la circoncisione se tu osservi la legge; ma se tu sei trasgressore della legge, la tua circoncisione diventa incirconcisione.
26E se l’incirconciso osserva i precetti della legge, la sua incirconcisione non sarà essa reputata circoncisione?
27E così colui che è per natura incirconciso, se adempie la legge, giudicherà te, che con la lettera e la circoncisione sei un trasgressore della legge.
28Poiché Giudeo non è colui che è tale all’esterno; né è circoncisione quella che è esterna, nella carne;
29ma Giudeo è colui che lo è interiormente; e la circoncisione è quella del cuore, in ispirito, non in lettera; d’un tal Giudeo la lode procede non dagli uomini, ma da Dio.
Reina-Valera 1909
1POR 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.
2Mas sabemos que el juicio de Dios es según verdad contra los que hacen tales cosas.
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¿O menosprecias las riquezas de su benignidad, y paciencia, y longanimidad, ignorando que su benignidad te guía á arrepentimiento?
5Mas 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;
6El cual pagará á cada uno conforme á sus obras:
7A los que perseverando en bien hacer, buscan gloria y honra é inmortalidad, la vida eterna.
8Mas á los que son contenciosos, y no obedecen á la verdad, antes obedecen á la injusticia, enojo é ira;
9Tribulación y angustia sobre toda persona humana que obra lo malo, el Judío primeramente, y también el Griego:
10Mas gloria y honra y paz á cualquiera que obra el bien, al Judío primeramente, y también al Griego.
11Porque no hay acepción de personas para con Dios.
12Porque todos los que sin ley pecaron, sin ley también perecerán; y todos los que en la ley pecaron, por la ley serán juzgados:
13Porque no los oidores de la ley son justos para con Dios, mas los hacedores de la ley serán justificados.
14Porque 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:
15Mostrando la obra de la ley escrita en sus corazones, dando testimonio juntamente sus conciencias, y acusándose y también excusándose sus pensamientos unos con otros;
16En el día que juzgará el Señor lo encubierto de los hombres, conforme á mi evangelio, por Jesucristo.
17He aquí, tú tienes el sobrenombre de Judío, y estás reposado en la ley, y te glorías en Dios,
18Y sabes su voluntad, y apruebas lo mejor, instruído por la ley;
19Y confías que eres guía de los ciegos, luz de los que están en tinieblas,
20Enseñador de los que no saben, maestro de niños, que tienes la forma de la ciencia y de la verdad en la ley:
21Tú pues, que enseñas á otro, ¿no te enseñas á ti mismo? ¿Tú, que predicas que no se ha de hurtar, hurtas?
22¿Tú, que dices que no se ha de adulterar, adulteras? ¿Tú, que abominas los ídolos, cometes sacrilegio?
23¿Tú, que te jactas de la ley, con infracción de la ley deshonras á Dios?
24Porque el nombre de Dios es blasfemado por causa de vosotros entre los Gentiles, como está escrito.
25Porque la circuncisión en verdad aprovecha, si guardares la ley; mas si eres rebelde á la ley, tu circuncisión es hecha incircuncisión.
26De manera que, si el incircunciso guardare las justicias de la ley, ¿no será tenida su incircuncisión por circuncisión?
27Y 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.
28Porque no es Judío el que lo es en manifiesto; ni la circuncisión es la que es en manifiesto en la carne:
29Mas 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.
King James Version
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.
2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
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?
4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
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;
6Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
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;
13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
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:
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 the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
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?
28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
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.
World English Bible
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.
2We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
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?
4Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
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,
6who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
7to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;
8but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
9oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11For there is no partiality with God.
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.
13For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
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,
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)
16in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
17Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
18know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
21You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
22You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
24For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
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.
26If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
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?
28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
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.
