1
Therefore you are without excuse, man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
2
We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3
Do you know this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4
Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5
But according to your hardness and impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6
who "will render to every man according to his works:"
7
to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life;
8
but to those who are self-seeking, and don`t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,
9
oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, on the Jew first, and also on the Greek.
10
But glory and honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11
For there is no partiality with God.
12
For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13
For 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,
15
in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
16
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.
