Romans 2 — Context

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.

2

And we are conscious that God is a true judge against those who do such things.

3

But you who are judging another for doing what you do yourself, are you hoping that God's decision will not take effect against you?

4

Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?
