² Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 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)
