Romans 2:1–11

God’s Righteous Judgment

2Therefore you have ^fno excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For ^gin passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. ²We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. ³Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? ⁴Or do you presume on ^hthe riches of his kindness and ⁱforbearance and ^jpatience, ^knot knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? ⁵But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are ^lstoring up ^mwrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

⁶ⁿHe will render to each one according to his works: ⁷to those who ^oby patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; ⁸but for those who are self-seeking¹ and ^pdo not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. ⁹There will be tribulation and distress ^qfor every human being who does evil, the Jew ^rfirst and also the Greek, ¹⁰but glory and honor and ^speace for everyone who does good, ^tthe Jew first and also the Greek. ¹¹For ^uGod shows no partiality.
