Romans 2:1-16
God’s Righteous Judgment
1 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.
1:
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
2:
3 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?
3:
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
4:
5 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;
5:
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
6:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
7:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
8:
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
9:
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
10:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
11:
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;
12:
13 (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
13:
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:
14:
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;)
15:
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
16:
