Romans 2:1-5

1Therefore you have 1no excuse, 2you foolish person, 3everyone of you who passes judgment; for 4in that matter in which 5you judge someone else, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

2And we know that the judgment of God 6rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

3But do you suppose this, 7 8you foolish person who passes judgment on those who practice such things, and yet does them as well, that you will escape the judgment of God?

4Or do you think lightly of 9the riches of His 10kindness and 11 12restraint and 13patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

5But 14because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart 15you are storing up wrath for yourself 16on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
