Gospel: Luke 11:42-46

42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God's love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don't know it."

45 One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also."

46 He said, "Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

Romans 2:1-11

1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practise the same things.

2 We know that the judgement of God is according to truth against those who practise such things.

3 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practise such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgement of God?

4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgement of God;

6 who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"☆Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12

7 to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honour, 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 does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

10 But glory, honour, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God.


☆2:6: Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12
