| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | Propter quod inexcusabilis es, o homo omnis qui iudicas. In quo enim iudicas alterum, teipsum condemnas: eadem enim agis quae iudicas. |
| 2 | For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things. | Scimus enim quoniam iudicium Dei est secundum veritatem in eos qui talia agunt. |
| 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? | Existimas autem hoc, o homo, qui iudicas eos qui talia agunt, et facis ea, quia tu effugies iudicium Dei? |
| 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? | an divitias bonitatis eius, et patientiae, et longanimitatis contemnis? ignoras quoniam benignitas Dei ad poenitentiam te adducit? |
| 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. | Secundum autem duritiam tuam, et impoenitens cor, thesaurizas tibi iram in die irae, et revelationis iusti iudicii Dei, |
| 6 | Who will render to every man according to his works. | qui reddet unicuique secundum opera eius: |
| 7 | To them indeed, who according to patience in good work, seek glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life: | iis quidem qui secundum patientiam boni operis, gloriam, et honorem, et incorruptionem quaerunt, vitam aeternam: |
| 8 | But to them that are contentious, and who obey not the truth, but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation. | iis autem qui sunt ex contentione, et qui non acquiescunt veritati, credunt autem iniquitati, ira et indignatio. |
| 9 | Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek. | Tribulatio et angustia in omnem animam hominis operantis malum, Iudaei primum, et Graeci: |
| 10 | But glory, and honour, and peace to every one that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. | gloria autem, et honor, et pax omni operanti bonum, Iudaeo primum, et Graeco: |
| 11 | For there is no respect of persons with God. | non enim est acceptio personarum apud Deum. |
| 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. | Quicumque enim sine lege peccaverunt, sine lege peribunt: et quicumque in lege peccaverunt, per legem iudicabuntur. |
| 13 | For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. | Non enim auditores legis iusti sunt apud Deum, sed factores legis iustificabuntur. |
| 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: | Cum autem gentes, quae legem non habent, naturaliter ea, quae legis sunt, faciunt, eiusmodi legem non habentes, ipsi sibi sunt lex: |
| 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, | qui ostendunt opus legis scriptum in cordibus suis, testimonium reddente illis conscientia ipsorum, et inter se invicem cogitationibus accusantibus, aut etiam defendentibus, |
| 16 | In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. | in die, cum iudicabit Deus occulta hominum, secundum Evangelium meum per Iesum Christum. |
| 17 | But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, | Si autem tu Iudaeus cognominaris, et requiescis in lege, et gloriaris in Deo, |
| 18 | And knowest his will, and approvest the more profitable things, being instructed by the law, | et nosti voluntatem eius, et probas utiliora, instructus per legem, |
| 19 | Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness, | confidis teipsum esse ducem caecorum, lumen eorum qui in tenebris sunt, |
| 20 | An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law. | eruditorem insipientium, magistrum infantium, habentem formam scientiae, et veritatis in lege. |
| 21 | Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest not thyself: thou that preachest that men should not steal, stealest: | Qui ergo alium doces, teipsum non doces: qui praedicas non furandum, furaris: |
| 22 | Thou that sayest, men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege: | qui dicis non moechandum, moecharis: qui abominaris idola, sacrilegium facis: |
| 23 | Thou that makest thy boast of the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest God. | qui in lege gloriaris, per praevaricationem legis Deum inhonoras. |
| 24 | (For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.) | (Nomen enim Dei per vos blasphematur inter gentes, sicut scriptum est.) |
| 25 | Circumcision profiteth indeed, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. | Circumcisio quidem prodest, si legem observes: si autem praevaricator legis sis, circumcisio tua praeputium facta est. |
| 26 | If, then, the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? | Si igitur praeputium iustitias legis custodiat, nonne praeputium illius in circumcisionem reputabitur? |
| 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? | et iudicabit id quod ex natura est praeputium, legem consummans, te, qui per litteram et circumcisionem praevaricator legis es? |
| 28 | For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly; nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh: | Non enim qui in manifesto, Iudaeus est: neque quae in manifesto, in carne, est circumcisio: |
| 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. | sed qui in abscondito, Iudaeus est: et circumcisio cordis in spiritu, non littera: cuius laus non ex hominibus, sed ex Deo est. |
