³² Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do them.

¹ So you have no reason, whoever you are, for judging: for in judging another you are judging yourself, for you do the same things.

¹⁴ But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you?

²⁵ See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?
