Verse
Romans - ch 2 v 1 - 20
- Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
- We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
- Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
- Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
- But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;
- who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"1
- to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;
- but to those who are self-seeking, and don't obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,
- oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
- But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
- For there is no partiality with God.
- For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
- For it isn't the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
- (for when Gentiles who don't have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
- in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
- in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
- Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, and rest on the law, and glory in God,
- and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
- and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
- a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
- Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12
