First Reading
Romans 2: 1-11
1Therefore, you are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgment. For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things.
2We know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is true.
3Do you suppose, then, you who judge those who engage in such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4Or do you hold his priceless kindness, forbearance, and patience in low esteem, unaware that the kindness of God would lead you to repentance?
5By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God,
6who will repay everyone according to his works:
7eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works,
8but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness.
9Yes, affliction and distress will come upon every human being who does evil, Jew first and then Greek.
10But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, Jew first and then Greek.
11There is no partiality with God. Judgment by the Interior Law.

Gospel
Luke 11: 42-46
42Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb, but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others.
43Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces.
44Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk.”
45Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, “Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too.”
46And he said, “Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.
