Romans 2:6-11
Wycliffe Bible
6 that shall yield to each man after his works;
7 soothly to them that be by patience of good work, glory, and honour, and uncorruption, to them that seek everlasting life;
8 but to them that be of strife, and that assent not to truth, but believe to wickedness, wrath and indignation,
9 tribulation and anguish, into each soul of man that worketh evil, to the Jew first, and to the Greek [of Jew first and of the Greek];
10 but glory, and honour, and peace, to each man that worketh good thing, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
11 For acception of persons [that is, to put one before another without desert,] is not with God.

6 He will reward every person according to his deeds; 7 that is to say, praise, honour, and immortality to those who continue in doing good and seek eternal life; 8 but to those who are rebellious, and reject the truth, and follow iniquity, will come indignation and wrath – 9 tribulation and anguish upon the soul of every person who does evil: of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile. 10 To everyone who does good will come praise, honour, and peace: to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. 11 For there is no partiality with God.

6 (A)[a]Who will reward every man according to his works:
7 That is, to them which through patience in well doing, seek [b]glory, and honor, and immortality, everlasting life:
