¹² So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

⁶ who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"

⁷ to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life;

⁸ but to those who are self-seeking, and don't obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,

⁹ oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, on the Jew first, and also on the Greek.

¹⁰ But glory and honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹¹ For there is no partiality with God.

¹² For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

¹⁶ The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

¹⁷ For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

¹ "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.

² For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

³ Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?

²⁵ It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, Then later to consider his vows.

¹³ Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, For the fruit of their doings.

³⁶ I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

¹² If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

¹³ Why does the wicked person condemn God, And say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"

¹⁴ But you do see trouble and grief; You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

¹⁵ Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

⁴⁹ They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.

³ A prudent man sees danger, and hides himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

¹² For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

¹³ There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

¹⁴ Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.
