Therefore you have ^(C1)no excuse, ^(F1)you foolish person, ^(C2)everyone of you who passes judgment; for ^(F2)in that matter in which ^(C3)you judge someone else, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

And we know that the judgment of God ^(F1)rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

But do you suppose this, ^(F1)(C1)you foolish person who passes judgment on those who practice such things, and yet does them as well, that you will escape the judgment of God?

Or do you think lightly of ^(C1)the riches of His ^(C2)kindness and ^(F1)(C3)restraint and ^(C4)patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

But ^(F1)because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart ^(C1)you are storing up wrath for yourself ^(C2)on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

^(C1)who WILL REPAY EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS:

to those who by ^(C1)perseverance in doing good seek ^(C2)glory, honor, and ^(C3)immortality, He will give ^(C4)eternal life;

but to those who are ^(C1)self-serving and ^(C2)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, He will give wrath and indignation.

There will be ^(C1)tribulation and distress ^(F1)for every soul of mankind who does evil, ^(F2)for the Jew ^(C2)first and also ^(F2)for the Greek,

but ^(C1)glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does what is good, to the Jew ^(C2)first and also to the Greek.

For ^(C1)there is no partiality with God.

For all who have sinned ^(F1)(C1)without the Law will also perish ^(F1)without the Law, and all who have sinned ^(F2)under the Law will be judged ^(F3)by the Law;

for it is ^(C1)not the hearers ^(F1)of the Law who are ^(F2)righteous before God, but the doers ^(F1)of the Law who will be justified.

For when Gentiles who do not have ^(F1)the Law ^(F2)(C1)instinctively perform the requirements of the Law, these, though not having ^(F1)the Law, are a law to themselves,

in that they show ^(C1)the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

on the day when, ^(C1)according to my gospel, ^(C2)God will judge the secrets of mankind through Christ Jesus.
