Romans 2:1-8

1ThereforeG1352 you haveG1510 1noG379 excuseG379, 2you foolish personG444, 3everyoneG3956 of you who passesG2919 judgmentG2919; for 4in that matter in whichG3739 5you judgeG2919 someoneG2087 elseG2087, you condemnG2632 yourselfG4572; for you who judgeG2919 practiceG4238 the sameG846 thingsG846.

2And we knowG3609 that the judgmentG2917 of GodG2316 6rightlyG2596G225 fallsG1510 upon thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108.

3But do you supposeG3049 thisG3778, 78you foolish personG444 who passesG2919 judgmentG2919 onG2919 thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108, and yet doesG4160 them as well, that you will escapeG1628 the judgmentG2917 of GodG2316?

4OrG2228 do you thinkG2706 lightlyG2706 of 9the richesG4149 of His 10kindnessG5544 and 1112restraintG463 and 13patienceG3115, not knowingG50 that the kindnessG5543 of GodG2316 leadsG71 you to repentanceG3341?

5But 14becauseG2596 of your stubbornnessG4643 and unrepentantG279 heartG2588 15you are storingG2343 upG2343 wrathG3709 for yourselfG4572 16on the dayG2250 of wrathG3709 and revelationG602 of the righteousG1341 judgmentG1341 of GodG2316,

617whoG3739 will repayG591 eachG1538 personG1538 accordingG2596 to his deedsG2041:

7to thoseG3588 who by 18perseveranceG5281 in doingG2041 goodG18 seekG2212 19gloryG1391, honorG5092, and 20immortalityG861, He will give 21eternalG166 lifeG2222;

8but to thoseG3588 who are 22self-servingG2052 and 23do notG544 obeyG544 the truthG225, but obeyG3982 unrighteousnessG93, He will give wrathG3709 and indignationG2372.
