2If you judge someone else, you have no excuse for it. When you judge another person, you are judging yourself. You do the same things you blame others for doing.

²We know that when God judges those who do evil things, he judges fairly. ³Though you are only a human being, you judge others. But you yourself do the same things. So how do you think you will escape when God judges you?

⁴Do you make fun of God’s great kindness and favor? Do you make fun of God when he is patient with you? Don’t you realize that God’s kindness is meant to turn you away from your sins?

⁵But you are stubborn. In your heart you are not sorry for your sins. You are storing up anger against yourself. The day of God’s anger is coming. Then his way of judging fairly will be shown. ⁶God “will give to each person in keeping with what he has done.”

⁷God will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good. They want glory, honor, and life that never ends. ⁸But there are others who only look out for themselves. They don’t accept the truth. They go down an evil path. God will pour out his burning anger on them. ⁹There will be trouble and suffering for everyone who does evil. That is meant first for the Jews. It is also meant for the non-Jews. ¹⁰But there will be glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good. That is meant first for the Jews. It is also meant for the non-Jews. ¹¹God treats everyone the same.
