Romans 2:1–11

The Impartiality of God

¹Therefore you have ^ano excuse, ^1beveryone of you who passes judgment, for in that which ^cyou judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

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

³But do you suppose this, ^aO man, ¹when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

⁴Or do you think lightly of ^athe riches of His ^bkindness and ^ctolerance 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 render to each person according to his deeds:

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 indignation.

⁹There will be ^atribulation and distress ¹for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew ^bfirst and also of the Greek,

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

¹¹For ^athere is no partiality with God.
