Romans 2:3-8
New American Standard Bible
3 But do you suppose this, [a](A)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? 4 Or do you think lightly of (B)the riches of His (C)kindness and [b](D)restraint and (E)patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But [c]because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart (F)you are storing up wrath for yourself (G)on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 (H)who will repay each person according to his deeds: 7 to those who by (I)perseverance in doing good seek (J)glory, honor, and (K)immortality, He will give (L)eternal life; 8 but to those who are (M)self-serving and (N)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, He will give wrath and indignation.

Romans 2:3-8
New International Version
3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches(A) of his kindness,(B) forbearance(C) and patience,(D) not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?(E)
5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath(F), when his righteous judgment(G) will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a](H) 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor(I) and immortality,(J) he will give eternal life.(K) 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,(L) there will be wrath and anger.(M)
