Romans 2:7

The Righteous And Impartial Judgment Of God

⁶ He will pay back to each person according to his deeds [justly, as his deeds deserve]: ⁷ to those who by persistence in doing good seek [unseen but certain heavenly] glory, honor, and immortality, [He will give the gift of] eternal life. ⁸ But for those who are selfishly ambitious and self-seeking and disobedient to the truth but responsive to wickedness, [there will be] wrath and indignation.
