1. So do you think that you can judge those other people? You are wrong. You too are guilty of sin. You judge them, but you do the same things they do. So when you judge them, you are really condemning yourself.
2. God judges all who do such things, and we know his judgment is right.
3. And since you do the same things as those people you judge, surely you understand that God will punish you too. How could you think you would be able to escape his judgment?
4. God has been kind to you. He has been very patient, waiting for you to change. But you think nothing of his kindness. Maybe you don’t understand that God is kind to you so that you will decide to change your lives.
5. But you are so stubborn! You refuse to change. So you are making your own punishment greater and greater. You will be punished on the day when God will show his anger. On that day everyone will see how right God is to judge people.
6. He will reward or punish everyone for what they have done.
