⁵ But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath^(A), when his righteous judgment^(B) will be revealed. ⁶ God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”^{[a](C) 7} To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor^(D) and immortality,^(E) he will give eternal life.^{(F) 8} But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,^(G) there will be wrath and anger.^{(H) 9} There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:^(I) first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;^{(J) 10} but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.^{(K) 11} For God does not show favoritism.^(L)

¹² All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law^(M) will be judged by the law. ¹³ For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey^(N) the law who will be declared righteous. ¹⁴ (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,^(O) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. ¹⁵ They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) ¹⁶ This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets^(P) through Jesus Christ,^(Q) as my gospel^(R) declares.

Treasures in Heaven^(A)

¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,^(B) where moths and vermin destroy,^(C) and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,^(D) where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.^(E)

³⁵ A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
