Romans 2:1-11

1Therefore you are without excuse, whoever you are, when you judge someone else. For on whatever grounds you judge another, you condemn yourself, because you who judge practice the same things.

2Now we know that God’s judgment is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.

3And do you think, whoever you are, when you judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment?

4Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

5But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed!

6He will reward each one according to his works:

7eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality,

8but wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition and do not obey the truth but follow unrighteousness.

9There will be affliction and distress on everyone who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek,

10but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, for the Jew first and also the Greek.

11For there is no partiality with God.
