Ang Paghukom sang Dios

Karon, makasiling ka nga bagay sila silutan sang Dios kay masyado kalain ang ila ginahimo. Pero ikaw nga nagasiling sina ginasentensyahan mo man ang imo kaugalingon, kay ginapakalain mo sila pero ikaw mismo amo man ang imo ginahimo. Nahibaluan ta nga matarong ang paghukom sang Dios sa mga tawo nga nagahimo sang malain. 3-4 Pero sin-o ka nga nagahukom sa iban nga amo man ang imo ginahimo? Siguro nagahunahuna ka nga tungod ang Dios maayo, mabinatason, kag mapinasensyahon, makalikaw ka sa iya paghukom. Wala ka bala kahibalo nga ang kaayo sang Dios nagahatag sang kahigayunan nga maghinulsol ka? Pero tungod nga matig-a ang imo ulo kag indi ka maghinulsol, ginadugangan mo ang imo silot sa adlaw nga ipakita sang Dios ang iya kaakig kag ang iya matarong nga paghukom. Kay ang Dios magabalos sa tagsa-tagsa suno sa iya mga binuhatan.[a] May mga tawo nga nagapadayon sa paghimo sang maayo tungod nga ginahandom nila nga dayawon sila sang Dios, padunggan, kag hatagan sang kabuhi nga wala sing kamatayon. Ina nga mga tawo hatagan sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. Pero may mga tawo man nga maiyaiyahon nga nagasikway sang kamatuoran kag nagasunod sa kalainan. Makita sini nga mga tawo ang kaugot kag kaakig sang Dios. Kay ang tanan nga tawo nga nagahimo sang malain magaantos gid, una anay ang mga Judio kag dason ang mga indi Judio. 10 Pero ang mga tawo nga nagahimo sang maayo, dayawon kag padunggan sang Dios, kag mangin maayo ang ila kahimtangan, una anay ang mga Judio kag dason ang mga indi Judio. 11 Kay ang Dios wala sing pinilian sa iya paghukom.

12 Ang mga tawo nga nagahimo sang sala mawala, bisan wala sila kahibalo parte sa Kasuguan ni Moises. Ang mga tawo iya nga nakahibalo sang Kasuguan ni Moises pero nagapadayon sa paghimo sang sala, hukman man sang Dios, pero ang Kasuguan mismo ang iya gamiton sa paghukom sa ila. 13 Kay ang ginapakamatarong sang Dios amo ang nagatuman sang Kasuguan kag indi ang nagapamati lang. 14 Ang mga indi Judio wala kahibalo sang Kasuguan ni Moises. Pero kon ginahimo nila ang nasulat sa Kasuguan, nagapakita lang nga bisan wala sila kahibalo sang Kasuguan, nahibaluan nila kon ano ang husto nga himuon. 15 Ang ila ginahimo nga maayo nagapakita nga ang ginatudlo sang Kasuguan ara sa ila tagipusuon. Ang ila konsensya makapamatuod sini, kay kon kaisa ang ila konsensya nagasiling nga sala ang ila ginahimo kag kon kaisa nagasiling man nga husto ang ila ginahimo. 16 Kag suno sa Maayong Balita nga akon ginatudlo, ina ipadumdom sa ila ni Jesu-Cristo sa adlaw nga siya pahukmon sang Dios sa tanan nga tawo. Hukman niya ang tanan nila nga mga tinago sa ila hunahuna.

Ang mga Judio kag ang Kasuguan

17 Karon, kamo nga nagasiling nga kamo mga Judio, nagasalig kamo sa Kasuguan kag nagapabugal pa nga malapit kamo sa Dios. 18 Nahibaluan ninyo kon ano ang luyag sang Dios kag kon ano ang labing maayo nga himuon, tungod kay natun-an ninyo ini sa Kasuguan. 19 Nagasalig kamo nga makatudlo kamo sa mga tawo nga bulag sa kamatuoran kag makahatag sang kasanag sa mga tawo nga nadulman ang ila hunahuna. 20 Nagasalig man kamo nga manugtudlo kamo sa mga tawo nga mahinay mag-intiendi kag sa mga tawo nga bata pa kon parte sa Dios. Amo ina ang inyo hunahuna tungod kay nagasalig kamo nga nahibaluan ninyo ang husto nga kaalam kag kamatuoran paagi sa Kasuguan. 21 Nagatudlo kamo sa iban, pero wala ninyo ginatudlui ang inyo kaugalingon. Nagatudlo kamo nga indi magpangawat, pero nagapangawat kamo. 22 Nagatudlo kamo nga indi magpanginbabayi ukon magpanginlalaki, pero amo man ina ang inyo ginahimo. Nahigkuan gid kamo sa mga dios-dios nga ginasimba sang mga indi Judio, pero nagapangawat kamo sa ila mga simbahan. 23 Nagapabugal kamo nga ara sa inyo ang Kasuguan sang Dios, pero ginapakahuy-an ninyo ang Dios tungod sang inyo paglapas sang Kasuguan. 24 Nagasiling ang Kasulatan, “Tungod sa inyo nga mga Judio, ginapasipalahan sang mga indi Judio ang Dios.”[b]

25 Nagasalig kamo nga kamo pinili sang Dios tungod sang inyo pagkatinuli. Ang pagkatinuli may pulos lang kon ginatuman ninyo ang Kasuguan. Pero kon wala ninyo ginatuman ini, pareho lang kamo sa mga indi Judio nga wala natuli. 26 Kag amo man sa mga tawo nga indi tinuli: kon sila nagatuman sang Kasuguan, ginakabig man sila sang Dios nga mga tinuli. 27 Gani kamo nga mga Judio pakalainon nila tungod nga ginalapas ninyo ang Kasuguan, bisan ara sa inyo ining ginsulat nga Kasuguan kag bisan natuli kamo. Sila iya nagatuman sang Kasuguan bisan wala sila natuli. 28 Kon sa bagay sin-o gid bala ang matuod nga Judio kag matuod nga tinuli? Indi ang tawo nga ang iya ginikanan Judio kag ang iya pagkatinuli sa guwa lang. 29 Ang matuod nga Judio amo ang tawo nga nagbag-o ang iya kabuhi paagi sa bulig sang Espiritu Santo kag indi tungod kay natuli siya suno sa Kasuguan. Ang tawo nga pareho sina ginadayaw sang Dios bisan wala siya ginadayaw sang mga tawo.

God’s Righteous Judgment

You, therefore, have no excuse,(A) you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.(B) Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? Or do you show contempt for the riches(C) of his kindness,(D) forbearance(E) and patience,(F) not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?(G)

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath(H), when his righteous judgment(I) will be revealed. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a](J) To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor(K) and immortality,(L) he will give eternal life.(M) But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,(N) there will be wrath and anger.(O) There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:(P) first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;(Q) 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.(R) 11 For God does not show favoritism.(S)

12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law(T) will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(U) the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,(V) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets(W) through Jesus Christ,(X) as my gospel(Y) declares.

The Jews and the Law

17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;(Z) 18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?(AA) 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?(AB) 23 You who boast in the law,(AC) do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”[b](AD)

25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law,(AE) but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.(AF) 26 So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements,(AG) will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?(AH) 27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you(AI) who, even though you have the[c] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly,(AJ) nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.(AK) 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart,(AL) by the Spirit,(AM) not by the written code.(AN) Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.(AO)

Therefore 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.

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 For 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.

14 For 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:

15 Which 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;)

16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 But 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.
