Romans 2:1-8

1ThereforeG1352 you haveG1510 1noG379 excuseG379, 23everyoneG444G3956 of you who passesG2919 judgmentG2919, for in that whichG3739 4you judgeG2919 anotherG2087, you condemnG2632 yourselfG4572; for you who judgeG2919 practiceG4238 the sameG846 thingsG846.

2And we knowG3609 that the judgmentG2917 of GodG2316 5rightlyG2596G225 fallsG1510 upon thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108.

3But do you supposeG3049 thisG3778, 6OG5599 manG444, 7when you passG2919 judgmentG2919 on thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108 and doG4160 the sameG846 yourself, that you will escapeG1628 the judgmentG2917 of GodG2316?

4OrG2228 do you thinkG2706 lightlyG2706 of 8the richesG4149 of His 9kindnessG5544 and 10toleranceG463 and 11patienceG3115, not knowingG50 that the kindnessG5543 of GodG2316 leadsG71 you to repentanceG3341?

5But 12becauseG2596 of your stubbornnessG4643 and unrepentantG279 heartG2588 13you are storingG2343 up wrathG3709 for yourselfG4572 14in the dayG2250 of wrathG3709 and revelationG602 of the righteousG1341 judgmentG1341 of GodG2316,

615whoG3739 will renderG591 to eachG1538 personG1538 accordingG2596 to his deedsG2041:

7to thoseG3588 who by 16perseveranceG5281 in doingG2041 goodG18 seekG2212 for 17gloryG1391 and honorG5092 and 18immortalityG861, 19eternalG166 lifeG2222;

8but to thoseG3588 who are 20selfishlyG2052 ambitiousG2052 and 21do not obeyG544 the truthG225, but obeyG3982 unrighteousnessG93, wrathG3709 and indignationG2372.
