Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
6 For God will reward each of us according to what we have done.
6
God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”
7 Some people keep on doing good, and seek glory, honor, and immortal life; to them God will give eternal life.
7
To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
8 Other people are selfish and reject what is right, in order to follow what is wrong; on them God will pour out his anger and fury.
8
But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
9 There will be suffering and pain for all those who do what is evil, for the Jews first and also for the Gentiles.
9
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;
10 But God will give glory, honor, and peace to all who do what is good, to the Jews first and also to the Gentiles.
10
but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
11 For God judges everyone by the same standard.
11
For God does not show favoritism.
12 The Gentiles do not have the Law of Moses; they sin and are lost apart from the Law. The Jews have the Law; they sin and are judged by the Law.
12
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.
13 For it is not by hearing the Law that people are put right with God, but by doing what the Law commands.
13
For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
14 The Gentiles do not have the Law; but whenever they do by instinct what the Law commands, they are their own law, even though they do not have the Law.
14
(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law.
15 Their conduct shows that what the Law commands is written in their hearts. Their consciences also show that this is true, since their thoughts sometimes accuse them and sometimes defend them.
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 And so, according to the Good News I preach, this is how it will be on that Day when God through Jesus Christ will judge the secret thoughts of all.
16
This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
