Romans 2:1-11
1
Therefore you have f no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For g in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.
2
We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things.
3
Do you suppose, O man - you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself - that you will escape the judgment of God?
4
Or do you presume on h the riches of his kindness and i forbearance and j patience, k not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
5
But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are l storing up m wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
6
n He will render to each one according to his works:
7
to those who o by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;
8
but for those who are self-seeking and p do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.
9
There will be tribulation and distress q for every human being who does evil, the Jew r first and also the Greek,
10
but glory and honor and s peace for everyone who does good, t the Jew first and also the Greek.
11
For u God shows no partiality.
