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

¹ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art, that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost the same things. ² But we know that the judgement of God is according to truth against those that do such things. ³ And thinkest thou, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgement of God? ⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? ⁵ But by thy hardness and impenitence of heart thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgement of God, ⁶ who will render to every one according to his works: ⁷ to them, who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, and honor, and immortality, eternal life: ⁸ but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath. ⁹ Tribulation and anguish shall be upon every soul of man that worketh evil, both of the Jew, and of the Gentile: ¹⁰ but glory, and honor, and peace to every one that worketh good, both to the Jew, and to the Greek: ¹¹ for there is no respect of persons with God.

¹² For as many as have sinned without the law shall also perish without the law; and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law; ¹³ (for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified: ¹⁴ for when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the duties of the law, these though they have not the law, are a law to themselves, ¹⁵ and shew the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience witnessing together with it, and their own thoughts either accusing, or excusing them,) ¹⁶ in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
