Romans 2:3-18

³Do you think this, O man who judges those who practise such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgement of God?

⁴Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

⁵But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgement of God,

⁶who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”

⁷to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honour, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

⁸but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,

⁹oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹⁰But glory, honour, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹¹For there is no partiality with God.

¹²For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

¹³For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

¹⁴(for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,

¹⁵in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts amongst themselves accusing or else excusing them)

¹⁶in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

¹⁷Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,

¹⁸know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
