Romans 2:5-16

5But 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!

6He will reward each one according to his works:

7eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality,

8but wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition and do not obey the truth but follow unrighteousness.

9There will be affliction and distress on everyone who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek,

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

11For there is no partiality with God.

12For 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.

13For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous before God, but those who do the law will be declared righteous.

14For 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.

15They 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,

16on the day when God will judge the secrets of human hearts, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.
