6 God will reward or punish every person for what he has done.
7 Some people live for God’s glory, for honor, and for life that has no end. They live for those things by always continuing to do good. God will give life forever to them.
8 But other people are selfish and refuse to follow truth. They follow evil. God will give them his punishment and anger.
9 He will give trouble and suffering to everyone who does evil—to the Jews first and also to the non-Jews.
10 But God will give glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does good—to the Jews first and also to the non-Jews.
11 For God judges all people in the same way.
12 People who have God’s law and those who have never heard of the law are all the same when they sin. Those who do not have the law and are sinners will be lost. And, in the same way, people who have the law and are sinners will be judged by the law.
