will render to every man according to his deeds; (7)to those who by
patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and
immortality, eternal life; (8)but to those who are contentious, and do
not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
(9)tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that works evil,
of the Jew first, and also of the Greek; (10)but glory, and honor, and
peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the

(11)For there is no respect of persons with God. (12)For as many as
sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as
