Rom. 2:14 (LIT/UBS4) (because (gar) when perhaps (hotan) ethnic groups (ethnē), the ones (ta) not (mē) having (echonta) [a] law (nomon), by nature (phusei) may do (poiōsin) the things (ta) of the (tou) law (nomou), these ones (houtoi) not (mē) having (echontes) [a] law (nomon) are (eisin) [a] law (nomos) to themselves (heautois);

 

Rom. 2:15 (LIT/UBS4) ones who (hoitines) cause themselves to indicate (endeiknuntai) the (to) work (ergon) of the (tou) law (nomou), [the] written one (grapton), in (en) the (tais) hearts (kardiais) of them (autōn);

 

the (tēs) conscience (suneidēseōs) of them (autōn) witnessing together with (summarturousēs) the (tōn) reasonings (logismōn) between (metaxu) one another (allēlōn) also (kai), of publicly accusing (katēgorountōn) and (kai)/or (ē) of explaining themselves (apologoumenōn)),

Rom. 2:17 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) if (ei) you (su) cause yourselves to be named over (eponomazē) [a] Judean (Ioudaios), and (kai) you cause yourself to pause up over (epanapauē) [the sake of the, AE] law (nomō), and (kai) you cause yourself to boast (kauchasai) in (en) God (theō),

 

Rom. 2:18 (LIT/UBS4) and (kai) you know (ginōskeis) the (to) desire (thelēma) [of him, AE], and (kai) you approve (dokimazeis) of the thing (ta) bearing through1308 (diapheronta), you being catechized (katēchoumenos) out (ek) of the (tou) law (nomou),

 

Rom. 2:19 (LIT/UBS4) and (kai) you have persuaded (pepoithas) yourself (seauton) to be (einai) [a] leader (hodēgon) of blind ones (tuphlōn), [to be] [a] light (phōs) of the ones (tōn) in (en) darkness (skotei),

 

Rom. 2:20 (LIT/UBS4) [a] child-trainer (paideutēn) of mindless ones (aphronōn), [a] teacher (didaskalon) of infants (nēpiōn), having (echonta) the (tēn) form (morphōsin) of the (tēs) knowledge (gnōseōs) and (kai) of the (tēs) Truth (alētheias) in (en) the (tō) law (nomō),

Rom. 2:23 (LIT/UBS4) [The one, v22, RE] who (hos) causes yourself to boast (kauchasai) in (en) law (nomō), through (dia) the (tēs) side-stepping (parabaseōs) of the (tou) law (nomou) do you dishonor (atimazeis) the (ton) God (theon)?

 

Rom. 2:24 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) the (to) name (onoma) of the (tou) God (theou), through (di’) you (humas), is blasphemed (blasphēmeitai) among (en) the (tois) ethnic groups (ethnesin), down according to as (kathōs) it has been written (gegraptai).

 

Rom. 2:25 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar), truly (men), circumcision (peritomē) does profit (ōphelei) if perhaps (ean) you may habitually practice (prassēs) law (nomon)!

 

But (de) if perhaps (ean) you may be (ēs) [a] side-stepper (parabatēs) of law (nomou), the (hē) circumcision (peritomē) of you (sou) has become (gegonen) prepuced (akrobustia).

 

Rom. 2:26 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), if perhaps (ean) the (hē) prepuced one (akrobustia) may keep watchful guard (phulassē) [to habitually practice, v25, RE] the (ta) righteous purposes (dikaiōmata) of the (tou) law (nomou), shall absolutely not (ouch) the (hē) prepuce (akrobustia) of him (autou) be counted3049 (logisthēsetai) into (eis) [a] circumcision (peritomēn)?

 

Rom. 2:27 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) <shall> the one (hē) prepuced (akrobustia), completing (telousa) the (ton) law (nomon) out (ek) of nature (phuseōs), judge (krinei) you (se), the one (ton) of circumcision (peritomēs) and (kai) [a] side-stepper (parabatēn) of law (nomou), through (dia) [a] writing (grammatos) [of law, RE]?

 

Rom. 2:28 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) absolutely neither (ou) [is] the one (ho) in (en) the (tō) [prepuce, v27, RE] manifested (phanerō) [as] [a] Judean (Ioudaios), but absolutely nor (oude) is (estin) the one (hē) in (en) the (tō) circumcision (peritomē) in (en) flesh (sarki) manifested (phanerō) [as [a] Judean, RE]!

 

Rom. 2:29 (LIT/UBS4) BUT (all’), the one (ho) [circumcised, v28, RE] in (en) the (tō) hidden place (kruptō) [is] [a] Judean (Ioudaios)!

 

And (kai) [a] circumcision (peritomē) [is] [[a] circumcision, RE] of heart (kardias), in (en) Spirit (pneumati), absolutely not (ou) [in, RE] [a] writing (grammati) [of law, v27, RE]!  

 

The (ho) praise (epainos) of whom (hou) [is] absolutely not (ouk) out (ek) of mortals (anthrōpōn), BUT (all’), out (ek) of the (tou) God (theou)!
