We are well aware that people who behave like that are justly condemned by God. But you -- when you judge those who behave like this while you are doing the same yourself -- do you think you will escape God's condemnation? Or are you not disregarding his abundant goodness, tolerance and patience, failing to realise that this generosity of God is meant to bring you to repentance? Your stubborn refusal to repent is only storing up retribution for yourself on that Day of retribution when God's just verdicts will be made known. He will repay everyone as their deeds deserve. For those who aimed for glory and honour and immortality by persevering in doing good, there will be eternal life; but for those who out of jealousy have taken for their guide not truth but injustice, there will be the fury of retribution. Trouble and distress will come to every human being who does evil -- Jews first, but Greeks as well; glory and honour and peace will come to everyone who does good -- Jews first, but Greeks as well. There is no favouritism with God."

cOmelia = "Paul writes that man is more inclined to serve himself than God. It is a deep instinct that accompanies us all, a kind of "idolatrous" attitude that involves men and women of all times. This conviction should make us careful not to easily agree with ourselves and our traditions. Jesus himself exhorts us not to look at the speck in the eye of others and to notice the beam in our own eye. We are all poor men and women in need of help from the Lord. This is why Paul, a little later, taking up a statement from the psalm, writes: "There is no one who is righteous, not even one" (Rom 3:10). Jesus himself, to the man who flattered him by calling him "Good Teacher," replied: "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone" (Mk 10:18). Our smallness should prompt us not to make ourselves judges of others. Paul, addressing himself directly 'to man', to all men and women, has harsh words for those who judge without mercy; and thinking of believers, he accuses that they judge others, but then commit the same things and behave like those on whom their judgement weighs. In so doing, not only are they cruel, but they forget that there is a judge who exercises judgement with a just standard: God. He "will repay according to each one's deeds.... For God shows no partiality." The apostle reminds even us believers that we need to be forgiven, that is, judged by God who is merciful and great in love. We all need God's mercy, which is salvation."
