Romans 2:11

JudgmentJusticeThe stranger and outcast

9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek;

10 but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek.

For God does not show favoritism.

12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.
