Romans 2:10

but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Paul addresses a mixed Jewish and Gentile congregation in Rome, immediately following his warning that every evildoer will face trouble and distress. The words — τιμή (timē) = honor and εἰρήνη (eirēnē) = peace, the specific divine rewards Paul names for every person who persists in doing good. The thread — The link between righteousness and peace runs through Isaiah 32:17, Isaiah 26:12, and Numbers 6:26, where peace is consistently tied to God’s establishing work. Why it lands — It requires readers to abandon ethnic or religious advantage and evaluate themselves strictly by their conduct, since God’s reward is distributed without favoritism.
