          Paul’s Letter To The Romans

1 - It is inexcusable for anyone to set theirself up as judge. For in passing judgment upon another is to condemn one’s self, because the same things are done by them. {ALL are prone to “hamartia - missing the mark” translated sin).} 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon all who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such and yet do also, that - you - will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and his forbearance and patience?  Knowing not that God's kindness is meant to lead - you - to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath. [Orge - passion] {cause and effect? His passion as opposed to creating a mere ant farm! Passion for purity, truth, perfection, for he is Life, aNd, “is Perfect” mt.5:48, so only Perfection can endure, and be God’s will. The biggest cause and effect being that imperfect is entropy the “worm that does not quit” and “fire (THE crucible, selah!) that is not quenched”/put out.} Storing up wrath for yourself upon the day of wrath and revelation of God's righteous judgment. [Next verse: “Who will render to every one according to their deeds”/their own doings.]
