Romans 2:6–8

2:6 He14 will reward15 each one according to his works:16 2:7 eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality, 2:8 but17 wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition18 and do not obey the truth but follow19 unrighteousness.

14	tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
15	tn Or “will render,” “will recompense.” In this context Paul is setting up a hypothetical situation, not stating that salvation is by works.
16	sn A quotation from Ps 62:12; Prov 24:12; a close approximation to Matt 16:27.
17	tn This contrast is clearer and stronger in Greek than can be easily expressed in English.
18	tn Grk “those who [are] from selfish ambition.”
19	tn Grk “are persuaded by, obey.”
