Haweis(i)
1 THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, even every one that judgeth: for in the very thing wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest art living in the practices of the same things.
2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against those who practise such things.
3 For thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest those who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his kindness and patience and long-suffering, ignorant that this goodness of God is leading thee to repentance?
5 But after thy obdurate and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath at the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
6 who will recompense to every man according to his works;
7 to those who, in the patient practice of good works, seek glory and honour and immortality—eternal life.
8 But to those who are of a contentious spirit, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath;
9 tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth wickedness, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.
10 But glory and honour and peace be to every man who doeth that which is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek:
11 for there is no acceptance of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without the law, shall perish also without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;
13 for the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be counted righteous;
14 (for when the Gentiles, who have not the law naturally, do the things of the law, these, though not having the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 which exhibit the practice of the law written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing its testimony, and their mutual reasonings at intervals bringing accusations or forming excuses;)
16 in the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, according to my gospel by Jesus Christ.
