Romans 2:1-16

21st Century King James Version

2 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art who judgest; for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself, for thou that judgest doest the same things.

² But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who commit such things.

³ And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those who do such things and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

⁵ But because of thy hardness and impenitence of heart, thou treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the Day of Wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

⁶ who will render to every man according to his deeds:

⁷ to those who by patient continuance in welldoing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;

⁸ but unto those who are contentious, and do not obey the truth but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

⁹ tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man who doeth evil, upon the Jew first and also upon the Gentile;

¹⁰ but glory, honor and peace to every man who worketh good, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.

¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.

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

¹³ (For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

¹⁴ For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, they, not having the law, are a law unto themselves,

¹⁵ which shows the work of the law written in their hearts,their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts between accusing and excusing one another.)

¹⁶ Thus will it be on the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
