Romans 2:4
Compare all
2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4 Or do you despise athe riches of His goodness, bforbearance, and clongsuffering, dnot knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?  
5 But in accordance with your hardness and your1 impenitent heart ayou are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,  
6 who a“will render to each one according to his deeds”:  
7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;
8 but to those who are self-seeking and ado not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,  
9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew afirst and also of the Greek;  
10 abut glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.  
11 For athere is no partiality with God.  
12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law
