He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else:
10
"Two men went up to the temple complex to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
The Pharisee took his stand and was praying like this: 'God, I thank You that I'm not like other people-- greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12
I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of everything I get.'
13
"But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even raise his eyes to heaven but kept striking his chest and saying, 'God, turn Your wrath from me-- a sinner!'
14
I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, disputes, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
30
slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

32

ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 2:1-16
1
Therefore, anyone of you who judges is without excuse. For when you judge another, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the same things.
2
We know that God's judgment on those who do such things is based on the truth.
3
Do you really think-- anyone of you who judges those who do such things yet do the same-- that you will escape God's judgment?
4
Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
5
But because of your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment is revealed.
6
He will repay each one according to his works:
7
eternal life to those who by patiently doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;
8
but wrath and indignation to those who are self-seeking and disobey the truth, but are obeying unrighteousness;
9
affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek;
10
but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.

There is no favoritism with God.
12
All those who sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all those who sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
