Romans 2:1-11 ▼

1 Therefore, you have no excuse—every one of you who judges. For when you pass judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, practice the very same things.

2 Now we know that God's judgment against those who act like this is based on truth.

3 So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on those who practice these things and then do them yourself, do you think you will escape God's judgment?

4 Or are you unaware of his rich kindness, forbearance, and patience, that it is God's kindness that is leading you to repent?

5 But because of your stubborn and unrepentant heart you are reserving wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

6 For he will repay everyone according to what that person has done:

7 eternal life to those who strive for glory, honor, and immortality by patiently doing good;

8 but wrath and fury for those who in their selfish pride refuse to believe the truth and practice wickedness instead.

9 There will be suffering and anguish for every human being who practices doing evil, for Jews first and for Greeks as well.

10 But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who practices doing good, initially for Jews but also for Greeks as well,

11 because God does not show partiality.
