2Therefore, any one of you ^w^xwho judges is without excuse. ^yFor when you judge another, ^zyou condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the same things. ²We know that God’s judgment on those who do such things is based on the truth. ³Do you really think—anyone of you who judges those who do such things yet do the same—that you will escape God’s judgment? ⁴Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, ^arestraint, ^band patience, ^cnot recognizing ^dthat God’s kindness ^eis intended to lead you to repentance? ⁵But because of your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath ^ffor yourself in the day of wrath, ^gwhen God’s righteous judgment is revealed. ⁶He will repay each one according to his works: ^hⁱ⁷eternal life ^jto those who by persistence in doing good ^kseek glory, honor, ^land immortality; ^m⁸but wrath and indignation to those who are self-seeking ⁿand disobey the truth ^obut are obeying unrighteousness; ⁹affliction and distress ^pfor every human being who does evil, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek; ^q¹⁰but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does what is good, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. ¹¹There is no favoritism with God. ^r
