Romans 1:28-2:16

Riverside(i) 28 And as they did not think fit to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them over to an abandoned mind, to do the things that are shameful, 29 filled with all injustice, wickedness, greed, malice, full of envy, murder, strife, fraud, malignant craftiness, whisperers, 30 slanderers, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 without common sense, without faithfulness, without family affection, without pity. 32 They know the just judgment of God that those who practice such things are worthy of death, yet they not only do them themselves, but are pleased with those who practice them. 2 1 THEREFORE you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge. For in judging another you condemn yourself. For you, the judge, practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who practice such things. 3 Do you think, O man, you who judge those who practice such things while you do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God is calling you to a change of heart? 5 Are you with a hard and unrepentant heart treasuring for yourself wrath for the day of wrath and for the revelation of the just judgment of God? 6 He will give to each an award according to his works. 7 To those who by constancy in good work seek for glory and honor and immortality he will award life eternal. 8 But to those of a partisan spirit who do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and hot anger. 9 Distress and crushing calamity will fall upon every human soul that works evil, upon the Jew first and also upon the Greek. 10 But glory and honor and peace will come to every one who works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For God has no partiality. 12 As many as have sinned without a law will perish without a law, and as many as have sinned under law will be judged by law 13 (for it is not the hearers of law who are righteous before God, but the doers of law are pronounced righteous; 14 for when Gentiles who have no law do by nature what the Law enjoins, these, although they have no law, are a law to themselves; 15 they show the requirements of the Law written in their hearts, since their conscience corroborates it and their thoughts argue in mutual accusation or in self-defense), 16 on the day when God judges the secrets of men through Jesus Christ, as my good news sets forth.
