Romans 2:8
6 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.
But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
