God’s Righteous Judgment (ROM 2:1-11)

[2:1] Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

[2:2] We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things.

[2:3] Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?

[2:4] Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

[2:5] But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

[2:6] He will render to each one according to his works:

[2:7] to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;

[2:8] but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.

[2:9] There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,

[2:10] but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.

[2:11] For God shows no partiality.
