SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:7

A los que perseveraron en bien hacer, gloria y honra e incorrupcin, a los que buscan la vida eterna.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 2:7

Verse 7. To them, &c.] In this manner will
God, in the great day, dispense punishments and rewards: 1. He will give eternal life to them who, in all the trials and difficulties of the present state, have persevered in well doing-seeking for and expecting glory, honour, and immortality.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 7. To them who by
patient continuance in well doing , etc..] These words are descriptive of one sort of persons, to whom God will render according to their works; and must be understood not of the Gentiles, the best and most moralized among them; for they sought after worldly things, after human wisdom, and popular applause, and not after God, his honour and glory, nor after immortality, which is only brought to light by the Gospel; nor of the pharisaical Jews, who sought for righteousness by the works of the law, and honour and glory from men, and not from God; nor of any unregenerate persons, but only of such who have the true principles of grace implanted in them, whether Jews or Gentiles: now the things which these men seek after are glory ; not the glory of this world, nor any from the men of it; but the glory of God and Christ; to be glorious within and without, by the grace and righteousness of Christ here, and to enjoy eternal glory with him hereafter. Honour ; not that which Adam had in innocence, and did not abide in; but that which is, and abides with Christ, and which all the saints have, and shall have. Immortality ; not the immortality of the soul, which is common to all; but the incorruption of the body, or the glorious resurrection of it to everlasting life at the great day, or the incorruptible crown, and never fading inheritance of the saints in light. The manner in which these things are sought is, by patient continuance in well doing; by doing good works, and by doing these good works well, from a principle of faith and love, and with a view to the glory of God; and by patiently enduring reproaches and sufferings for well doing, and by persevering therein: not that these things are to be had, or are expected by the saints to be had for the sake of patience and well doing; yet they may be sought for, and looked unto, as an encouragement to well doing, and continuance therein; and though not for, yet in well doing there is a reward. These words do not express that for the sake of which glory is had; but only describe the persons who seek, and the manner in which they seek for it, to whom God will render eternal life , which he of his rich grace promised them before the world was, and of his free favour has put into the hands of Christ for them, and which, as a pure gift of grace, he bestows on them through him.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-16 - The
Jews thought themselves a holy people, entitled to their privilege by right, while they were unthankful, rebellious, and unrighteous. But all who act thus, of every nation, age, and description, must be reminded that the judgment of God will be according to their rea character. The case is so plain, that we may appeal to the sinner's ow thoughts. In every wilful sin, there is contempt of the goodness of God. And though the branches of man's disobedience are very various all spring from the same root. But in true repentance, there must be hatred of former sinfulness, from a change wrought in the state of the mind, which disposes it to choose the good and to refuse the evil. I shows also a sense of inward wretchedness. Such is the great chang wrought in repentance, it is conversion, and is needed by every huma being. The ruin of sinners is their walking after a hard and impeniten heart. Their sinful doings are expressed by the strong words "treasuring up wrath." In the description of the just man, notice the full demand of the law. It demands that the motives shall be pure, an rejects all actions from earthly ambition or ends. In the descriptio of the unrighteous, contention is held forth as the principle of all evil. The human will is in a state of enmity against God. Eve Gentiles, who had not the written law, had that within, which directe them what to do by the light of nature. Conscience is a witness, an first or last will bear witness. As they nature. Conscience is witness, and first or last will bear witness. As they kept or brok these natural laws and dictates, their consciences either acquitted or condemned them. Nothing speaks more terror to sinners, and more comfor to saints, than that Christ shall be the Judge. Secret services shal be rewarded, secret sins shall be then punished, and brought to light.
