Although they know full well God’s just sentence—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them.

You are therefore without excuse, O man, whoever you are who sit in judgement upon others. For when you pass judgement on your fellow man, you condemn yourself; for you who sit in judgement upon others are guilty of the same misdeeds;

as you teach others, do you fail to teach yourself? As you preach against stealing, do you steal?

You who tell others not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
