NASB	Romans 2:1 Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
AMPLIFIED 2015	Romans 2:1 Therefore you have no excuse or justification, everyone of you who [hypocritically] judges and condemns others; for in passing judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, because you who judge [from a position of arrogance or self-righteousness] are habitually practicing the very same things [which you denounce].

Bible Question:
I am having a problem reconciling.

Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Eph 2:9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

With

Rom 2:6 who "will render to each one according to his deeds":[fn1]
Rom 2:7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;
Rom 2:8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness--indignation and wrath,

I know that salvation, and the gift of eternal life is not as a result of, "works", but the above verses from Romans seem to contradict this? It seems that Paul might have had in mind the verses bellow.

Pro 24:12 If you say, "Surely we did not know this," Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?

Psa 62:12 Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.

Thank you.

Bible Answer: The Romans 2 verses are not talking about saved people. Check the context. The entire passage is about the judgment and wrath of God against sinners. He is talking about a judgment based on the fact that they are without excuse Rom 2:1
