1 Do you, my friends, pass judgement on others? You have no excuse at all, whoever you are. For when you judge others and then do the same things which they do, you condemn yourself.
2 We know that God is right when He judges the people who do such things as these.
3 But you, my friend, do those very things for which you pass judgment on others! Do you think you will escape God's judgment?
4 Or perhaps you despise His great kindness, tolerance, and patience. Surely you know that God is kind, because He is trying to lead you to repent.
5 But you have a hard and stubborn heart, and so you are making your own punishment even greater on the Day when God's anger and righteous judgments will be revealed.
6 For God will reward every person according to what he has done.
7 Some people keep on doing good, and seek glory, honor and immortal life; to them God will give eternal life.
8 Other people are selfish and reject what is right, in order to follow what is wrong; on them God will pour out His anger and fury.
9 There will be suffering and pain for all those who do what is evil, for the Jews first and also for the Gentiles.
10 But God will give glory, honor and peace to all who do what is good, to the Jews first and also to the Gentiles.
11 For God judges everyone by the same standard.
