Therefore you are without excuse, whoever you are, when you judge someone else, for in that which you judge · another, you condemn yourself, for you who judge are practicing the same things.

Do you suppose, · this, whoever you are, when you judge those who practice · such things yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

You, however, are not controlled by the flesh but by the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. · Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Therefore whoever resists · authority resists what · God has decreed, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

For whoever serves Christ in this way · is pleasing to God and approved by men.
