2. Now we know that God’s judgment is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.
3. And do you think, whoever you are, when you judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment?
4. Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?
5. But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed!
6. He will reward each one according to his works:
7. eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality,
8. but wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition and do not obey the truth but follow unrighteousness.
9. There will be affliction and distress on everyone who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek,
10. but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, for the Jew first and also the Greek.
11. For there is no partiality with God.
12. For all who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous before God, but those who do the law will be declared righteous.
