Romans 2:1-16 - The Righteous And Impartial Judgment Of God

¹ For which reason, you are without excuse, man, who ever you are, that judge; for in that in which you judge an other, you condemn yourself; for you who judge, practice the same things. ² But we know that the judgment of God against those who practice such things, is according to truth. ³ But do you, man, who judge those that practice such things, and yet do the same, conclude that you will escape the judgment of God? ⁴ Or, do you despise the riches of his goodness, and his forbearance, and his long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? ⁵ But, according to your hard and impenitent heart, you treasure up to yourself wrath for a day of wrath, and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who will render to every man according to his works; ⁷ to those who, by patient continuance in good works, seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life: ⁸ but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, anger and wrath, ⁹ affliction and distress, upon every soul of man that practices what is evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek: ¹⁰ but glory and honor and peace to every one that practices what is good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek: ¹¹ for there is no respect of persons with God.

¹² For as many as have sinned without law, shall also perish without law; and as many as have sinned under law, shall be judged by law, ¹³ in the day when God shall judge the secret works of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. ¹⁴ For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. ¹⁵ For when the Gentiles, who have not a law, do, by nature, the things of the law, these who have not a law, are a law to themselves, ¹⁶ who show that the work which the law requires, is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing testimony, and their reasonings with each other accusing, or making excuse.
