ROMA 2:1-11 / 3:9-20
Chapter 2
- 1
- 1 Therefore, you are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgment. 2 For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things.
- 2
- We know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is true.
- 3
- Do you suppose, then, you who judge those who engage in such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?
- 4
- Or do you hold his priceless kindness, forbearance, and patience in low esteem, unaware that the kindness of God would lead you to repentance?
- 5
- By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God,
- 6
- who will repay everyone according to his works: 3
- 7
- eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works,
- 8
- but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness.
- 9
- Yes, affliction and distress will come upon every human being who does evil, Jew first and then Greek.
- 10
- But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, Jew first and then Greek.
- 11
- 4 There is no partiality with God.
UNIVERSAL BONDAGE TO SIN
ROMA 3:9-20
Chapter 3
- .
- 9
- 3 Well, then, are we better off? Not entirely, for we have already brought the charge against Jews and Greeks alike that they are all under the domination of sin,
- 10
- as it is written: "There is no one just, not one,
- 11
- there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks God.
- 12
- All have gone astray; all alike are worthless; there is not one who does good, (there is not) even one.
- 13
- Their throats are open graves; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps is on their lips;
- 14
- their mouths are full of bitter cursing.
- 15
- Their feet are quick to shed blood;
- 16
- ruin and misery are in their ways,
- 17
- and the way of peace they know not.
- 18
- There is no fear of God before their eyes."
- 19
- Now we know that what the law 4 says is addressed to those under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world stand accountable to God,
- 20
- since no human being will be justified in his sight 5 by observing the law; for through the law comes consciousness of sin.
