1

So you have no reason, whoever you are, for judging: for in judging another you are judging yourself, for you do the same things.

2

And we are conscious that God is a true judge against those who do such things.

3

But you who are judging another for doing what you do yourself, are you hoping that God's decision will not take effect against you?

4

Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?

5

But by your hard and unchanged heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of the revelation of God's judging in righteousness

6

Who will give to every man his right reward:

7

To those who go on with good works in the hope of glory and honour and salvation from death, he will give eternal life:

8

But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

9

Trouble and sorrow on all whose works are evil, to the Jew first and then to the Greek

10

But glory and honour and peace to all whose works are good, to the Jew first and then to the Greek:

11

For one man is not different from another before God.

12

All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law

13

For it is not the hearers of the law who will be judged as having righteousness before God, but only the doers:

14

For when the Gentiles without the law have a natural desire to do the things in the law, they are a law to themselves

15

Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval

16

In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.
