CLV(i)
1 Wherefore, defenseless are you, O man! everyone who is judging, for in what you are judging another, you are condemning yourself, for you who are judging are committing the same things."
2 Now we are aware that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who are committing such things.
3 Yet are you reckoning on this, O man, who art judging those committing such things, and art doing the same, that you will be escaping the judgment of God?
4 Or are you despising the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, being ignorant that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?
5 Yet, in accord with your hardness and unrepentant heart you are hoarding for yourself indignation in the day of indignation and revelation of the just judgment of God,
6 Who will be paying each one in accord with his acts:
7 to those, indeed, who by endurance in good acts are seeking glory and honor and incorruption, life eonian;"
8 yet to those of faction and stubborn, indeed, as to the truth, yet persuaded to injustice, indignation and fury,
9 affliction and distress, on every human soul which is effecting evil, both of the Jew first and of the Greek,
10 yet glory and honor and peace to every worker of good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek."
11 For there is no partiality with God,
12 for whoever sinned without the law, without law also shall perish, and whoever sinned in law, through law will be judged."
13 For not the listeners to law are just with God, but the doers of law shall be justified."
14 For whenever they of the nations that have no law, by nature may be doing that which the law demands, these, having no law, are a law to themselves,
15 who are displaying the action of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying together and their reckonings between one another, accusing or defending them,
16 in the day when God will be judging the hidden things of humanity, according to my evangel, through Jesus Christ."
