Romans 2:5-16

5Because of your hardened and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed.

6He will repay each one according to his works:

7eternal life to those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality;

8but wrath and anger to those who are self-seeking and disobey the truth while obeying unrighteousness.

9There will be affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek;

10but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does what is good, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.

11For there is no favoritism with God.

12For all who sin without the law will also perish without the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

13For the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.

14So, when Gentiles, who do not by nature have the law, do what the law demands, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law.

15They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts. Their consciences confirm this. Their competing thoughts either accuse or even excuse them

16on the day when God judges what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.
