Romans 2:2–16

²And we know that the judgment of God ¹rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

³But do you presume this, ^aO man—who passes judgment on those who practice such things and does the same—that you will escape the judgment of God?

⁴Or do you think lightly of ^athe riches of His ^bkindness and ^cforbearance and ^dpatience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

⁵But ¹because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart ^ayou are storing up wrath for yourself ^bin the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

^6awho will repay to each according to his works:

⁷to those who by ^aperseverance in doing good seek for ^bglory and honor and ^cimmortality, ^deternal life;

⁸but to those who are ^aselfishly ambitious and ^bdo not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger.

⁹There will be ^aaffliction and turmoil ¹for every soul of man who works out evil, of the Jew ^bfirst and also of the Greek,

¹⁰but ^aglory and honor and peace to everyone who works good, to the Jew ^bfirst and also to the Greek.

¹¹For ^athere is no partiality with God.

¹²For all who have sinned ^1awithout the Law will also perish ²without the Law, and all who have sinned ³under the Law will be judged ⁴by the Law.

¹³For it is ^anot the hearers ¹of the Law who are ²just before God, but the doers ³of the Law will be justified.

¹⁴For when Gentiles who do not have ¹the Law ^anaturally do the things of the Law, these, not having ²the Law, are a law to themselves,

¹⁵in that they demonstrate ^athe work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

¹⁶on the day when, ^aaccording to my gospel, ^bGod will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.
