Goodspeed(i)
1 Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, if you pose as a judge, for when you pass judgment on someone else, you are condemning yourself, for you, who sit in judgment, do the very same things yourself.
2 We know that God's judgment rightfully falls upon those who do such things as these.
3 And do you suppose, when you sit in judgment upon those who do such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4 Do you think so lightly of his wealth of kindness, forbearance, and patience, and fail to see that God's kindness ought to induce you to repent?
5 But in your obstinacy and impenitence you are storing up wrath for yourself on the Day of Wrath, when the justice of God will burst forth.
6 For he will pay every man for what he has done.
7 Those who by persistently doing right strive for glory, honor, and immortality will have eternal life,
8 but self-seeking people who are disloyal to the truth and responsive only to what is wrong will experience anger and fury,
9 crushing distress and anguish, every human soul of them that actually does what is wrong—the Jew first, and the Greek also;
10 but there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does right, the Jew first, and the Greek also,
11 for God shows no partiality.
12 All who sin without having the Law will perish without regard to the Law, and all who sin under the Law will be judged by the Law.
13 For merely hearing the Law read does not make a man upright in the sight of God; men must obey the Law to be made upright.
14 When heathen who have no Law instinctively obey what the Law demands, even though they have no law they are a law to themselves,
15 for they show that what the Law demands is written on their hearts, and their consciences will testify for them, and with their thoughts they will either accuse or perhaps defend themselves,
16 on that Day when, as the good news I preach teaches, God through Christ Jesus judges what men have kept secret,
