Romains 2:6 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 2:6

Who will render to every man according to his deeds.
] God will be the Judge, who is righteous, holy, just, and true; every man in particular will be judged; as the judgment will be general to all, it will be special to everyone, and will proceed according to their works; for God will render to wicked men according to the demerit of their sins, the just recompense of reward, eternal damnation; and to good men eternal life, not according to the merit of their good works, which have none in them, but according to the nature of them; such who believe in Christ, and perform good works from a principle of grace, shall receive the reward of the inheritance, which is a reward of grace, and not of debt. In other words, God will render to evil men according to the true desert of their evil deeds; and of his own free grace will render to good men, whom he has made so by his grace, what is suitable and agreeable to those good works, which, by the assistance of his grace, they have been enabled to perform.

Romains 2:6 In-Context

4 Ou méprises-tu les richesses de sa bonté, de sa patience et de son long support, ne reconnaissant pas que la bonté de Dieu te convie à la repentance?
5 Mais par ton endurcissement et ton cœur impénitent, tu t'amasses un trésor de colère pour le jour de la colère et de la manifestation du juste jugement de Dieu,
6 Qui rendra à chacun selon ses ouvres,
7 Savoir, la vie éternelle à ceux qui, persévérant dans les bonnes œuvres, cherchent la gloire, l'honneur et l'immortalité;
8 Mais l'indignation et la colère aux contentieux et à ceux qui sont rebelles à la vérité, et qui obéissent à l'injustice;
