Romans 2:5-16

Romans 2:5-16 CSB

Because 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. He will repay each one according to his works :  , eternal life  to those who by persistence in doing good  seek glory, honor,  and immortality;  but wrath and anger to those who are self-seeking  and disobey the truth  while obeying unrighteousness. There will be affliction and distress  for every human being who does evil, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek;  but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does what is good, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. For there is no favoritism with God.  For 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. For the hearers of the law  are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.  So, 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. They 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  on the day when God judges  what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.
