Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
The influencers and others of this world give much voice against so called unethical behaviour or the current state of immorality (although few can define the term), against all kinds of vices and whims. They judged and condemned certain evils. But God declares that they were not one iota better than the rest because the very things they condemned they were guilty of themselves. They can only practice evil, because the same evil heart was in them; in spite of their ethical writings, they are corrupt. In this age, these shout from the pages of your phones and laptops; judging existing evils and condemning them, while they are found out to do the very things they condemned.
This is the sad evidence of the unregenerated heart of the human. They cannot escape the judgment of God. They were impenitent, despising the riches of His goodness and are treasuring up unto themselves wrath against the days of wrath.
