Verse
Romans - ch 2 v 1 - 20
- Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man -- every one who is judging -- for in that in which thou dost judge the other, thyself thou dost condemn, for the same things thou dost practise who art judging,
- and we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, upon those practising such things.
- And dost thou think this, O man, who art judging those who such things are practising, and art doing them, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
- or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise? -- not knowing that the goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation!
- but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
- who shall render to each according to his works;
- to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;
- and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness -- indignation and wrath,
- tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;
- and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is working the good, both to Jew first, and to Greek.
- For there is no acceptance of faces with God,
- for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged,
- for not the hearers of the law `are' righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: --
- For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law -- to themselves are a law;
- who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending,
- in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.
- Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God,
- and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law,
- and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness,
- an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law.
