1 Do you, my friend, 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 judgement on others! Do you think you will escape God's judgement?
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 judgements will be revealed.
6 For God will reward every person according to what each has done.
7 Some people keep on doing good, and seek glory, honour, and immortal life; to them God will give eternal life.
