but to those who are (A)self-serving and (B)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, He will give wrath and indignation. There will be (C)tribulation and distress [a]for every soul of mankind who does evil, [b]for the Jew (D)first and also [c]for the Greek, 10 but (E)glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does what is good, to the Jew (F)first and also to the Greek. 11 For (G)there is no partiality with God.

12 For all who have sinned [d](H)without the Law will also perish [e]without the Law, and all who have sinned [f]under the Law will be judged [g]by the Law; 13 for it is (I)not the hearers [h]of the Law who are [i]righteous before God, but the doers [j]of the Law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have [k]the Law [l](J)instinctively perform the requirements of the Law, these, though not having [m]the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show (K)the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16 on the day when, (L)according to my gospel, (M)God will judge the secrets of mankind through Christ Jesus.

But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,(A) there will be wrath and anger.(B) There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:(C) first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;(D) 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.(E) 11 For God does not show favoritism.(F)

12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law(G) will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(H) the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,(I) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets(J) through Jesus Christ,(K) as my gospel(L) declares.

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

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

11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
