MNT(i)
28 And just as they refused to continue to retain God in their knowledge, so did God cast them out to an outcast mind, to do those things which were indecent.
29 They were overflowing with every kind of iniquity, depravity, greed, and malice. They were full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and malignity.
30 They became whisperers, back-biters, hated of God, insolent, haughty, boastful. They invented sins. They were disobedient to parents.
31 They were without sense, without faith, without natural affection, without mercy.
32 Though they knew well the ordinance of God, that those who practise such vices are worthy of death, they not only continue to do the same, but were even applauding those who practise vice.
2 1 You are therefore inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, that sits in judgment; for in judging another you are condemning yourself. You, the judge, are habitually practising the very same things.
2 "We know that God's judgment against those who practise such vices is in accord with the truth," you say?
3 Very well; and do you suppose, you who judge those that practise such vices, and are doing the very same, that you will elude the judgment of God?
4 Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?
5 In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.
6 For He will render to every man according to his works;
7 eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality;
8 but anger and wrath upon those who are self-willed and disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.
9 Anguish and calamity will be upon every soul of man who practices evil, upon the Jew first, and also upon the Gentile;
10 but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.
11 For there is no partiality with God.
12 For all who have sinned without law will also perish without law; and all who have sinned under law will be judged by law.
13 For it is not the hearers of law who are righteous in the eyes of God; nay, it is the doers of law who will be accounted righteous.
14 For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.
15 For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,
16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
