Romans 2:6
4 Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?
5 But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”
7 To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life.
8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
