Romans 2:1-29
1 You therefore have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
2 And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
3 So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?
4 Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?
5 But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
6 For he will render to everyone according to what he has done,
7 To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life.
8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek;
10 but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek.
11 For God does not show favoritism.
12 All who sin apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who sin under the Law will be judged by the Law.
13 For it is not merely those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight. No, it is those who follow the law, who will be justified.
14 When Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.
15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing them
16 This will come to pass on that day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.
17 But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law and boast of your relation to God
18 if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the Law;
19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,
20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—
21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
22 You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
25 Circumcision has value if you observe the Law, but if you break the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 So if people who are uncircumcised observe the requirements of the Law, will they not be treated as though they were circumcised?
27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a breaker of the law.
28 A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.
29 No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.
Romans 1:20
20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse.
Romans 2:1
1 You therefore have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Genesis 3:13
13 The LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
Jeremiah 1:4-10
4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
6 I, Jeremiah, said: "Sovereign LORD, I do not know how to speak. I am only a child!"
7 the LORD said to me: "'Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go wherever I send you. You must say whatever I command you to say.
8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD.
9 Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. the LORD said to me: »I have put my words in your mouth.
10 See, today I've appointed you to prophesy about nations and kingdoms, to pull up and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."
Luke 9:59-62
59 He told another man, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
60 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
61 Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”
62 Jesus responded: "No man, who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
Exodus 4:10-14
10 Moses said to the LORD, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”
11 the LORD said to him: "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
12 Now go and I - I am with your mouth and direct you what to word.
13 Moses said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”
14 the LORD's anger burned against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
Luke 14:18-20
18 And they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and I must go and see it: Please excuse me.
19 Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I am on my way to try them. Please excuse me.'
20 Still another said, 'I recently got married, so I can't come.'
