The Impartiality of God: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTER

Romans, Chapter 2, verses 1-16

¹ Therefore you have no excuse,^aeveryone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. ² And we know that the judgment of God^brightly falls upon those who practice such things. ³ But do you suppose this, O man,^cwhen you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? ⁴ Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? ⁵ But^dbecause of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: ⁷ to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; ⁸ but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. ⁹ There will be tribulation and distress^efor every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, ¹⁰ but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ¹¹ For there is no partiality with God.

¹² For all who have sinned^fwithout the Law will also perish^gwithout the Law, and all who have sinned^hunder the Law will be judgedⁱby the Law; ¹³ for it is not the hearers^jof the Law who are^kjust before God, but the doers^lof the Law will be justified. ¹⁴ For when Gentiles who do not have^mthe Law doⁿinstinctively the things of the Law, these, not having^othe Law, are a law to themselves, ¹⁵ in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, ¹⁶ on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.
