Romans 2:5

Read in context

Romans 2:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

4 Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

5 But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

6 God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”

7 To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life.
