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

12 For all who have sinned [e](O)without the Law will also perish [f]without the Law, and all who have sinned [g]under the Law will be judged [h]by the Law; 13 for it is (P)not the hearers [i]of the Law who are [j]righteous before God, but the doers [k]of the Law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have [l]the Law [m](Q)instinctively perform the requirements of the Law, these, though not having [n]the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show (R)the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16 on the day when, (S)according to my gospel, (T)God will judge the secrets of mankind through Christ Jesus.
