Römer 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.

Römer 2:6 In-Context

4 Oder verachtest du den Reichtum seiner Gütigkeit und Geduld und Langmut, nicht wissend, daß die Güte Gottes dich zur Buße leitet?

5 Nach deiner Störrigkeit und deinem unbußfertigen Herzen aber häufst du dir selbst Zorn auf am Tage des Zorns und der Offenbarung des gerechten Gerichts Gottes,

6 welcher einem jeden vergelten wird nach seinen Werken:

7 denen, die mit Ausharren in gutem Werke Herrlichkeit und Ehre und Unverweslichkeit suchen, ewiges Leben;

8 denen aber, die streitsüchtig und der Wahrheit ungehorsam sind, der Ungerechtigkeit aber gehorsam, Zorn und Grimm.
