isv Romans:2:1-16 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore ,
you have no excuse —
every one of you who judges .
For when you pass judgment on another person ,
you condemn yourself ,
since you ,
the judge ,
practice the very same things .
*
Now we know that God '
s judgment against those who practice such is based on truth .
*
So when you ,
a mere man ,
pass judgment on those who practice these things and then do them yourself ,
do you think you will escape God '
s judgment ?
*
Or do you think so little of the riches of his kindness ,
forbearance ,
and patience ,
not realizing that it is God '
s kindness that is leading you to repentance ?
*
But because of your stubborn and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath ,
when God '
s righteous judgment will be revealed .
*
For he will repay everyone according to what that person has done :
*
eternal life to those who strive for glory ,
honor ,
and immortality by patiently doing good ;
*
but wrath and fury for those who in their selfish pride refuse to believe the truth and practice wickedness instead .
*
There will be suffering and anguish for every human being who practices doing evil ,
for Jews first and for Greeks as well .
*
But there will be glory ,
honor ,
and peace for everyone who practices doing good ,
for Jews first and for Greeks as well .
*
For God does not show partiality .
*
For all who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from the law ,
and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law .
*
For it is not merely those who hear the law who are righteous in God '
s sight .
No ,
it is those who do the law ,
who will be justified .
*
For whenever Gentiles ,
who do not possess the law ,
do instinctively what the law requires ,
they are a law to themselves ,
even though they do not have the law .
*
They show that what the law requires is written in their hearts ,
a fact to which their own consciences testify ,
and their thoughts will either accuse or excuse them
*
on that day when God ,
through Jesus Christ ,
will judge people '
s secrets according to my gospel .
