Romans 2:2-4

2:2 Now we know that God’s judgment is in accordance with truth ¹  against those who practice such things. 2:3 And do you think, ²  whoever you are, when you judge ³  those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, ⁴  that you will escape God’s judgment? 2:4 Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know ⁵  that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?
