God the Refuge of the Righteous

⁵ But in accordance with your hardness and your ^[a]impenitent heart ^(A)you are ^[b]treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who ^(B)“will render to each one according to his deeds”: ⁷ eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; ⁸ but to those who are self-seeking and ^(C)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew ^(D)first and also of the ^[c]Greek; ^10 (E)but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ¹¹ For ^(F)there is no partiality with God.

¹⁹ Beloved, ^(A)do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ^(B)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

³⁰ For we know Him who said, ^(A)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” ^[a]says the Lord. And again, ^(B)“The Lord will judge His people.”

^31 (A)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
