Romans 2:1–11

The Righteous and Impartial Judgment of God

2Therefore you are without excuse, O man, every one of you who passes judgment. For in that which you pass judgment on someone else, you condemn yourself, for you who are passing judgment are doing the same things. ²Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things. ³But do you think this, O man who passes judgment on those who do such things, and who does the same things, that you will escape the judgment of God? ⁴Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? ⁵But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶who will reward each one according to his works: ⁷to those who, by perseverance in good work, seek glory and honor and immortality, eternal life, ⁸but to those who act from selfish ambition and who disobey the truth, but who obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger. ⁹There will be affliction and distress for every human being^a who does evil, of the Jew first and of the Greek, ¹⁰but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and to the Greek. ¹¹For there is no partiality with God.
