2And we knowG3609 that the judgmentG2917 of GodG2316 1rightlyG2596G225 fallsG1510 upon thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108. 3But do you supposeG3049 thisG3778, 23you 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 4the richesG4149 of His 5kindnessG5544 and 67restraintG463 and 8patienceG3115, not knowingG50 that the kindnessG5543 of GodG2316 leadsG71 you to repentanceG3341? 5But 9becauseG2596 of your stubbornnessG4643 and unrepentantG279 heartG2588 10you are storingG2343 upG2343 wrathG3709 for yourselfG4572 11on the dayG2250 of wrathG3709 and revelationG602 of the righteousG1341 judgmentG1341 of GodG2316, 612whoG3739 will repayG591 eachG1538 personG1538 accordingG2596 to his deedsG2041: 7to thoseG3588 who by 13perseveranceG5281 in doingG2041 goodG18 seekG2212 14gloryG1391, honorG5092, and 15immortalityG861, He will give 16eternalG166 lifeG2222; 8but to thoseG3588 who are 17self-servingG2052 and 18do notG544 obeyG544 the truthG225, but obeyG3982 unrighteousnessG93, He will give wrathG3709 and indignationG2372. 9There will be 19tribulationG2347 and distressG4730 20for everyG3956 soulG5590 of mankindG444 who doesG2716 evilG2556, 21for the JewG2453 22firstG4413 and alsoG5037 23for the GreekG1672, 10but 24gloryG1391, honorG5092, and peaceG1515 to everyoneG3956 who doesG2038 whatG18 isG18 goodG18, to the JewG2453 25firstG4413 and alsoG5037 to the GreekG1672. 11For 26there is noG3756 partialityG4382 with GodG2316.

12For allG3745 whoG3745 have sinnedG264 2728withoutG460 theG460 LawG460 will alsoG2532 perishG622 29withoutG460 theG460 LawG460, and allG3745 whoG3745 have sinnedG264 30underG1722 the LawG3551 will be judgedG2919 31by the LawG3551; 13for it is 32not the hearersG202 33of the LawG3551 who are 34righteousG1342 beforeG3844 GodG2316, but the doersG4163 35of the LawG3551 who will be justifiedG1344. 14For whenG3752 GentilesG1484 who do not haveG2192 36the LawG3551 3738instinctivelyG5449 performG4160 the requirements of the LawG3551, theseG3778, though not havingG2192 39the LawG3551, are a lawG3551 to themselvesG1438, 15in that they showG1731 40the workG2041 of the LawG3551 writtenG1123 in their heartsG2588, their conscienceG4893 testifyingG4828 and their thoughtsG3053 alternatelyG3342 accusingG2723 orG2228 elseG2532 defendingG626 them, 16on the dayG2250 whenG3739, 41accordingG2596 to my gospelG2098, 42GodG2316 will judgeG2919 the secretsG2927 of mankindG444 throughG1223 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
