Romans 2:1-9 ▼

1 THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, even every one that judgeth: for in the very thing wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest art living in the practices of the same things.

2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against those who practise such things.

3 For thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest those who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

4 Or despisest thou the riches of his kindness and patience and long-suffering, ignorant that this goodness of God is leading thee to repentance?

5 But after thy obdurate and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath at the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

6 who will recompense to every man according to his works;

7 to those who, in the patient practice of good works, seek glory and honour and immortality'eternal life.

8 But to those who are of a contentious spirit, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath;

9 tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth wickedness, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.
