Or do you show contempt for the riches(A) of his kindness,(B) forbearance(C) and patience,(D) not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?(E)

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath(F), when his righteous judgment(G) will be revealed. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a](H) To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor(I) and immortality,(J) he will give eternal life.(K) But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,(L) there will be wrath and anger.(M) There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:(N) first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;(O) 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.(P)

  1. Romans 2:6 Psalm 62:12; Prov. 24:12

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
