Romans 2:1-15

1Therefore you have 1no excuse, 23everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which 4you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2And we know that the judgment of God 5rightly falls upon those who practice such things. 3But do you suppose this, 6O man, 7when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4Or do you think lightly of 8the riches of His 9kindness and 10tolerance and 11patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 5But 12because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart 13you are storing up wrath for yourself 14in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 615who will render to each person according to his deeds: 7to those who by 16perseverance in doing good seek for 17glory and honor and 18immortality, 19eternal life; 8but to those who are 20selfishly ambitious and 21do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be 22tribulation and distress 23for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew 24first and also of the Greek, 10but 25glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew 26first and also to the Greek. 11For 27there is no partiality with God.

12For all who have sinned 2829without the Law will also perish 30without the Law, and all who have sinned 31under the Law will be judged 32by the Law; 13for it is 33not the hearers 34of the Law who are 35just before God, but the doers 36of the Law will be justified. 14For when Gentiles who do not have 37the Law do 3839instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having 40the Law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show 41the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,
