A Fresh Translation of Romans 2

 Therefore, you are without a defense, O every single human being who judges; because with what criteria you are judging the other different person, you will judge against yourself, because you who judge are practicing the self-same things. Yet we know that the legal decision of God is in line with reality upon those practicing such things as these. Yet are you calculating this thing, O human being judging those practicing such things as these and doing them, that you will escape the legal decision of God? Or are you minded against the wealth of His kindness and relief and long temper, being ignorant that the specific kindness of God guides you into a change of heart? Yet in line with your hardness and unchanging heart you treasure for yourself natural impulse on the day of passionate anger and revelation of the right judgment of the God who will repay to each person in line with his deeds; to those on the one hand looking for, in line with the endurance of a good work, reputation and value and incorruption He will repay the life of the Eternal One; yet to those from selfishness also disobeying this Reality being convinced by that wrong He will repay with passionate anger and intensity. Crushing and confinement upon every single psyche of a human being achieving the bad thing, both Iudaean first and Greek; yet reputation and value and peace to every single person achieving the good thing, both to Iudaean first and to Greek; because there isn’t partiality alongside God. Because as many as malfunctioned without the Torah, will also be destroyed without the Torah, and as many as malfunctioned by means of the Torah, will be decided through the Torah; because not those who hear the Torah are righted alongside God, but those who do the Torah will be declared right. Because when the ethnic groups who don’t possess the Torah should naturally do the things of the Torah, these not possessing the Torah are a Torah for themselves; such ones as demonstrate the work of the Torah written on their hearts, with their conscience testifying together with, and in the middle of, one another’s calculations, prosecuting or defending them, on the day when God will decide the hidden things of human beings in line with my Gospel through Yeshua the Christ.

     Yet if you are called a Iudaean and rest upon the Torah and speak loudly by means of God and are familiar with His will and prove the different things by testing being instructed from the Torah, having convinced yourself too to be a guide of the blind, a light for those in the darkness, a tutor for the mindless, a teacher of infants, having the embodiment of the knowledge and the truth within the Torah; the one who teaches the other different person, do you not teach yourself? The one who preaches not to steal, do you steal? The one who says not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one abhorring the idols, do you commit sacrilege? You who speak loudly with the Torah, are you devaluing God through the violation of the Torah? Because, “The name of God is blasphemed because of you among the ethnic groups,” just like it had been written. Because circumcision is on the one hand a benefit if you should practice the Torah; yet if you are a violator of the Torah, your circumcision has become a foreskin. If then the foreskin guards the regulations of the Torah, doesn’t his foreskin figure for circumcision? And the foreskin from nature who brings the Torah to completion will decide you the violator of the Torah through the letter and circumcision. Because it isn’t the person who is visibly a Iudaean nor the circumcision visibly within the soft tissues of the body, but the person who is a hidden Iudaean, and the circumcision with the Spirit not the letter, of which the praise is not from human beings but from God.
