Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
