GOD’S PRINCIPLES OF JUDGMENT (PART 2)

Romans 2:5-11 (KJV)

⁵ 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; ⁶ Who will render to every man according to his deeds: ⁷ To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: ⁸ But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, ⁹ 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: ¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.

Romans 2:5-11 (DARBY)

⁵ but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who shall render to each according to his works: ⁷ to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal.  ⁸ But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation, ⁹ tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek; ¹⁰ but glory and honour and peace to everyone that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek: ¹¹ for there is no acceptance of persons with God.
