God's Word Translation

Romans 2:8-13 God's Word Translation (GW)

8. anger and fury on those who, in selfish pride, refuse to believe the truth and who follow what is wrong.

9. There will be suffering and distress for every person who does evil, for Jews first and Greeks as well.

10. But there will be glory, honor, and peace for every person who does what is good, for Jews first and Greeks as well.

11. God does not play favorites.

12. Here’s the reason: Whoever sins without having the laws in Moses’ Teachings will still be condemned to destruction. And whoever has these laws from God and sins will still be judged by them.

13. People who merely listen to the laws in Moses’ Teachings don’t have God’s approval. Rather, people who do what those laws demand will have God’s approval.
