No One Seeks for God
Romans 3:1–20 ( Listen ) God’s Righteousness Upheld 3:1 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? 2 Much in every way.

The Judgement of God Revealed
Romans 2:1–11 ( Listen ) God’s Righteous Judgment 2:1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindnes...
