(A)[a]Who will reward every man according to his works:

That is, to them which through patience in well doing, seek [b]glory, and honor, and immortality, everlasting life:

But unto them that are contentious, and disobey the [c]truth, and obey unrighteousness, shall be [d]indignation and wrath.

Tribulation and anguish shall be upon the soul of every man that doeth evil: of the Jew first, and also of the Grecian.

10 But to every man that doeth good, shall be glory, and honor, and peace: to the Jew first, and also to the Grecian.

11 For there is [e]no respect of persons with God.
