Romans 2:1–5

God’s Righteous Judgment

2 You, therefore, have no excuse,l you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.m 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the richesn of his kindness,o forbearancep and patience,q not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?r

5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wraths, when his righteous judgmentt will be revealed.
