Romans 2

¹For in that you pass judgment on the other, you condemn yourself; for you practice the very things on which you pass judgment.

²And we have da'as that the judgment of Hashem HaShofet against those who practice such things is in accordance with HaEmes Hashem .[#2:2 Ro 1:32; #2:2 Ro 1:25]

³You, sir, you who pass judgment on those who practice such things and yet do the same yourself, do you suppose then that you will escape the Mishpat Hashem ?

⁴Or do you think lightly of the wealth of his nedivut (generosity) and of his chesed and of his being ERECH APAYIM (slow of anger, forbearing) and of his savlanut (patience) , disregarding the fact that the Chesed Hashem (the kindness of G-d) is to lead you to teshuva?[#2:4 Ex 34:6; #2:4 Ps 19:7 [8]]

⁵As a result of your KESHI (stubbornness, hardness) and your levavot without teshuva, you are storing up for yourself Charon Af Hashem (the burning anger of G-d) in the Yom Af (the Day of Wrath) , when will be revealed the Mishpat HaTzedek of Hashem ,[#2:5 Dt 9:27; #2:5 i.e., the Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment. See Ps 110:5]

⁶Who will render L'ISH K'MA'A'SEI HU (to each according to his works) .[#2:6 Ps 62:12 [13]]

⁷To those who, by savlanut (patience) , persevere in doing hatov (the good) , seek for kavod (glory) and honor and incorruptibility, He will give Chayyei Olam (Eternal Life) .[#2:7 Ps 16:10]

⁸But to those who are self-seeking and who have no mishma'at (obedience) to HaEmes Hashem , but instead have mishma'at to resha, there will be Charon Af Hashem and fury.[#2:8 Ro 1:25]

⁹There will be affliction and distress on every living neshamah who brings about what is rah (evil) , Yehudi above all and Yevani (Greek) as well.

¹⁰But tiferet and kavod and shalom to everyone who brings about what is tov (good) , Yehudi above all and Yevani as well.

¹¹For ki ein masso panim im Hashem (there is no partiality with Hashem ) .

¹²For as many as have committed averos and sinned lacking the Torah shall also perish lacking the Torah; and as many as have committed averos (sin) under the Torah shall be condemned under the Torah.

¹³For it is not the Shomei HaTorah (hearers of the Law of Moshe Rabbeinu) who are the tzaddikim who are accounted to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM (justified with G-d) . It is the Shomrei HaTorah (the keepers of the Torah) who will be counted to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM.[#2:13 Job 25:4]

¹⁴For when non-Jews who have not a Torah, may do by nature what the Torah requires, they not having a Torah are a gezetz (law) for themselves,[#2:14 Ro 11:13; #2:14 See 2Kgs 1:4; #2:14 see Ro 8:4]

¹⁵In that they demonstrate the Torah at work, the Torah written in their levavot, their matzpun (conscience) also bearing witness, while their thoughts bring accusation or even make defense among themselves,[#2:15 Jer 31:33; Ro 8:4; 2C 5:17; #2:15 Ac 24:16; #2:15 Ro 9:1; #2:15 Ga 2:11; #2:15 2C 7:11]

¹⁶In the Yom when, according to my Besuras HaGeulah, Hashem , through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, is to judge the secrets of kol Bnei Adam (all men) .[#2:16 HaDin (Day of Judgment)]

¹⁷But if you are called by the name Yehudi (Jew) and rely on the Torah and boast in Hashem ,[#2:17 T.N. Contra Ro 3:20; 4:2]

¹⁸And have da'as of His will and approve the things that matter, being instructed from the Torah,

¹⁹And being confident that you are a moreh derech (guide) of the ivrim (blind ones) , an ohr for those in choshech,

²⁰A rabbinic moreh (teacher) of the foolish, a melammed (instructor) of the young, having the embodiment of da'as (knowledge) and Emes in the Torah…[#2:20 Ro 1:25]

²¹You, then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach LO TIGNOV (Do not steal!) , do you steal?[#2:21 Ex 20:15]

²²You who say, LO TINAF (Do not commit adultery!) , do you commit adultery? You who abhor elilim (idols) , do you rob pagan temples?[#2:22 Ex 20:14]

²³You who boast in Torah, through deviating from the Torah, you commit Chillul Hashem .[#2:23 Ro 4:2; Lk 17:10; #2:23 Ro 2:29; 3:20; Ga 2:15-21]

²⁴As it is written, Among the Goyim KOL HAYOM HASHEM HAELOHIM MINNO'ATZ (All the day long the Name of G-d is being blasphemed) because of you.[#2:24 Isa 52:5]

²⁵For the milah (circumcision) is an asset if you stand in mishma'at (obedience) to the Torah. But if you are mefir (violator) of the Torah, your milah (circumcision) has become “orlah” (uncircumcision) .[#2:25 T.N. contra Ac 21:21; #2:25 See Ga 5:2-4; Dt 27:26; #2:25 2:23]

²⁶If then the ben Adam without milah who is shomer fulfilling the just requirements of the Torah, will not his orlah (uncircumcision) be counted as “milah”?[#2:26 T.N. see Ro 8:4]

²⁷And the naturally uncircumcised ben Adam who has mishma'at (obedience) to the Torah will arise as a judgment on you. You! The very one who through chumra (stringency, strict adherence to the letter of the law) and circumcision are the transgressor of Torah![#2:27 T.N. Ro 2:15; #2:27 i.e., uncircumcision, see Ro 2:25; #2:27 Ro 7:22-23; Yn 7:19]

²⁸For the true Yehudi (Jew) is not the one [humanly] perceived as such, nor true milah that which is performed visibly in the flesh;

²⁹The true Yehudi is so in [Hashem ʼs] hidden way, and true milah is of the lev, in the [hitkhadshut (renewal) of the] Ruach Hakodesh, not in [chumra (stringency, boasting of zokheh in machmir meritorious strict) ] letter. He has y'hodeh (praise) that comes not from Bnei Adam but from Hashem .[#2:29 Yn 3:3; #2:29 Yehudah, yadah praise…see Gn 29:35; #2:29 T.N. Jer 31:31-34]
