ROMANS 2:4-16

⁴Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

⁵but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

⁶who will render to every man according to his works:

⁷to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life:

⁸but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be wrath and indignation,

⁹tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

¹⁰but glory and honour and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

¹¹for there is no respect of persons with God.

¹²For 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;

¹³for not the hearers of a law are just before God, but the doers of a law shall be justified:

¹⁴for when Gentiles which have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law unto themselves;

¹⁵in that they shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them;

¹⁶in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.
