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.
14. For whenever the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things required by the law, these who do not have the law are a law to themselves.
15. They show that the work of the law is written in their hearts, as their conscience bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or else defend them,
16. on the day when God will judge the secrets of human hearts, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.
17. But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of your relationship to God
18. and know his will and approve the superior things because you receive instruction from the law,
19. and if you are convinced that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
