New Testament

Romans 2:1-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Therefore you are without excuse, O man, every one of you who passes judgment. For in that which you pass judgment on someone else, you condemn yourself, for you who are passing judgment are doing the same things.

2. Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.

3. But do you think this, O man who passes judgment on those who do such things, and who does the same things, that you will escape the judgment of God?

4. Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

5. But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

6. who will reward each one according to his works:

7. to those who, by perseverance in good work, seek glory and honor and immortality, eternal life,

8. but to those who act from selfish ambition and who disobey the truth, but who obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger.

9. There will be affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, of the Jew first and of the Greek,

10. but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and to the Greek.

11. For there is no partiality with God.

12. For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
