Romans 2:9-19

⁹Tribulation and distress will be upon every soul of man whose works are evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

¹⁰but glory, honor, and peace, to every one whoso works are 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 a law, will also perish without a law; and as many as have sinned under a law, will be judged by a law,

¹³for it is not the hearers of a law who are righteous before God, but the doers of a law will be accounted righteous;—

¹⁴for when the gentiles, who have no law, do by nature what is required by the Law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

¹⁵since they show that what the Law requireth is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts in turn accusing or defending them;—

¹⁶in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to the gospel which I have preached.

¹⁷But if thou art called a Jew, and restest on the Law, and makest thy boast of God,

¹⁸and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the Law;

¹⁹and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
