Or do you think lightly of (B)the riches of His (C)kindness and [b](D)restraint and (E)patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? But [c]because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart (F)you are storing up wrath for yourself (G)on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, (H)who will repay each person according to his deeds: to those who by (I)perseverance in doing good seek (J)glory, honor, and (K)immortality, He will give (L)eternal life; but to those who are (M)self-serving and (N)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, He will give wrath and indignation. There will be (O)tribulation and distress [d]for every soul of mankind who does evil, [e]for the Jew (P)first and also [f]for the Greek, 10 but (Q)glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does what is good, to the Jew (R)first and also to the Greek. 11 For (S)there is no partiality with God.
