Romans 2:11-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. There is no partiality with God.

12. All who sin outside the law will also perish without reference to it, and all who sin under the law will be judged in accordance with it.

13. For it is not those who hear the law who are just in the sight of God; rather, those who observe the law will be justified.

14. For when the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature observe the prescriptions of the law, they are a law for themselves even though they do not have the law.

15. They show that the demands of the law are written in their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even defend them

16. on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge people’s hidden works through Christ Jesus.

17. Now if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of God

18. and know his will and are able to discern what is important since you are instructed from the law,

19. and if you are confident that you are a guide for the blind and a light for those in darkness,

20. that you are a trainer of the foolish and teacher of the simple, because in the law you have the formulation of knowledge and truth—

21. then you who teach another, are you failing to teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

22. You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?

23. You who boast of the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

24. For, as it is written, “Because of you the name of God is reviled among the Gentiles.”

25. Circumcision, to be sure, has value if you observe the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
