God’s Righteous Judgment
(Psalms 75:1–10)
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Luk 6:37Rom 2:3Jhn 8:7-9Rom 2:21-23Mat 7:1-5Rom 1:18-202Sa 12:5-7Psa 50:16-20 And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. Psa 9:7-8Zep 3:5Psa 145:17Jer 12:1Psa 98:92Th 1:5-10Psa 96:13Rev 16:5 So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? Pro 16:5Luk 12:14Rom 1:32Mat 23:331Th 5:32Sa 10:3Dan 10:19Ezk 17:15 Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? 2Pe 3:9Isa 30:18Exo 34:6Rom 9:22-23Tit 3:4-6Eph 1:18Psa 86:15Eph 1:7
But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. Ecc 12:14Rom 1:18Rom 2:2-3Heb 3:152Pe 3:7Jud 1:6Deu 32:34Rom 9:22 God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” 1 Psa 62:12Jer 32:19Mat 16:272Co 5:10Jer 17:10Rev 20:12Rev 22:121Co 3:8 To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. 2Ti 4:7-8Luk 8:151Co 15:582Ti 1:101Pe 1:7-8Rev 2:10-11Heb 10:35-36Rom 6:23 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger. 1Ti 6:3-42Th 1:81Pe 4:17Jhn 3:18-212Th 2:10-12Pro 13:10Rev 16:191Co 11:16
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; 1Pe 4:17Ezk 18:4Rom 1:16Rom 3:29-302Th 1:6Act 13:46-47Act 18:5-6Act 3:26 but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. Isa 32:17Isa 26:121Pe 1:7Num 6:26Jas 3:13Job 22:21Luk 1:79Rom 2:7 For God does not show favoritism. Deu 10:17Act 10:342Ch 19:7Gal 2:6Gal 6:7-8Job 34:19Deu 16:19Col 3:25
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 1Co 9:21Gal 3:10Act 17:30-31Gal 2:16-19Rom 2:14-16Rom 7:7-11Rom 8:32Co 3:7-9 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous. Jas 1:22-251Jn 3:7Jas 2:21-25Rom 2:25Gal 2:16Luk 8:211Jn 2:29Gal 3:11-12
Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. Rom 1:19-20Rom 2:12Rom 2:27Act 17:30Act 10:35Eph 2:12Psa 147:19-20Deu 4:7 So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them 2Co 5:112Co 1:12Rom 1:18-19Tit 1:151Jn 3:19-211Ti 4:2Job 27:6Rom 9:1 on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, 2 as proclaimed by my gospel.

The Jews and the Law
Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God; Rom 2:23Mic 3:11Isa 48:1-2Rev 2:9Jhn 5:45Mat 3:9Rom 2:28-29Rom 9:32 if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 1Th 5:21Jas 4:17Deu 4:8Php 1:101Co 8:1-22Ti 3:15-17Heb 5:14Jhn 13:17 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness, Rev 3:17-181Co 4:101Co 8:1-2Isa 49:6Isa 5:21Isa 56:10Jhn 9:34Jhn 9:40-41 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 2Ti 3:5Tit 1:162Ti 1:131Co 3:1Rom 6:171Pe 2:2Heb 5:13Mat 11:25 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 1Co 9:27Mat 23:3-28Luk 12:47Mic 3:11Luk 11:46Tit 2:1-7Psa 50:16-21Amo 8:4-6 You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery?

Jas 4:16-17Rom 2:17Jhn 5:45Rom 3:2Rom 9:4Jas 1:22-27Jer 8:8-9Jhn 9:28-29 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” 3 Ezk 36:20-23Isa 52:52Pe 2:2Lam 2:15-162Sa 12:14Tit 2:81Ti 6:1Tit 2:5
Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. Gal 5:3-6Jer 4:4Act 7:51Gal 6:15Deu 30:6Jer 9:25-26Rom 2:23Rom 2:28 If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? Col 2:111Co 7:18-19Rom 8:4Act 10:2-4Act 10:34-35Act 11:3-18Eph 2:11Isa 56:6-7 The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. Mat 12:41-422Co 3:6Rom 2:29Rom 7:6-8Rom 8:4Act 13:22Ezk 16:48-52Gal 5:14
A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical. Gal 6:15Mat 3:9Rom 9:6-8Rev 2:9Isa 48:1-2Rom 4:10-12Hos 1:6-91Pe 3:21 No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God. Deu 30:6Php 3:3Deu 10:16Col 2:11-12Jer 4:41Th 2:41Co 4:51Pe 3:4
