God’s Righteous Judgment

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:1 -

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, everyone who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:2 - And we know that the judgment of God [fn]rightly falls upon those who practice such things.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:3 - But do you presume this, O man—who passes judgment on those who practice such things and does the same—that you will escape the judgment of God?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:4 - Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:5 - But [fn]because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:6 - who WILL REPAY TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:7 - to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:8 - but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:9 - There will be affliction and turmoil [fn]for every soul of man who works out evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:10 - but glory and honor and peace to everyone who works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:11 - For there is no partiality with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:12 -

For all who have sinned [fn]without the Law will also perish [fn]without the Law, and all who have sinned [fn]under the Law will be judged [fn]by the Law.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:13 - For it is not the hearers [fn]of the Law who are [fn]just before God, but the doers [fn]of the Law will be justified.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:14 - For when Gentiles who do not have [fn]the Law naturally do the things of the Law, these, not having [fn]the Law, are a law to themselves,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:15 - in that they demonstrate the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:16 - on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

The Jew Is Judged by the Law

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:17 -

But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely [fn]upon the Law and boast in God,

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:18 - and know His will and [fn]approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:19 - and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:20 - a [fn]corrector of the foolish, a teacher of [fn]the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:21 - you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who [fn]preach that one shall not steal, do you steal?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:22 - You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:23 - You who boast [fn]in the Law, through your transgression of the Law, do you dishonor God?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:24 - For “THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU,” just as it is written.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:25 -

For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice [fn]the Law, but if you are a transgressor [fn]of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:26 - So if the [fn]uncircumcised man observes the righteous requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:27 - And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he [fn]fulfills the Law, will he not judge you who, through the letter of the Law and circumcision, are a transgressor [fn]of the Law?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:28 - For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:29 - But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
