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

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.

8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
