Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

You Who Know More Truth And Judge Others By It Are Also Without Excuse

2 Therefore you are without-excuse, O human— everyone judging. For in what^[a] you are judging the other person, you are condemning yourself; for you, the one judging, are practicing the same things! ² And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon^[b] the ones practicing such things.

Do You Think You Will Escape God’s Judgment When You Do The Same Things?

³ But are you thinking this, O human— the one judging the ones practicing such things and doing them [yourself]— that you will escape the judgment of God? ⁴ Or are you disregarding the riches of His goodness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the good thing of God is leading you to repentance? ⁵ But in-accordance-with your hardness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing-up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and the revelation of the righteous-judgment of God, ⁶ Who will render to each one according to his works— ⁷ to the ones seeking glory and honor and immortality in accordance with endurance in good work, He will render eternal life; ⁸ but to the ones indeed disobeying the truth and obeying unrighteousness out of selfish-interest^[c], there will be wrath and fury.

There Is No Respect of Persons With God Regarding Sin And Judgment

⁹ There will be affliction and distress upon every soul of the person^[d] committing evil— both of the Jew first and of the Greek. ¹⁰ But there will be glory and honor and peace to everyone working good— both to the Jew first and to the Greek. ¹¹ For there is no respect-of-persons with God.
