2. Romans 2:4-11 Or do you despise the riches of His
goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not
knowing that the goodness of God leads you to
repentance? 5 But in accordance with your
hardness and your impenitent heart you are
treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath
and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6
who "will render to each one according to his
deeds": 7 eternal life to those who by patient
continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor,
and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking
and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness--indignation and wrath, 9
tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who
does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; 10
but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works
what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
11 For there is no partiality with God.
