Romans 2:6-10 NIV84

God “will give to each person according to what he has done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self‑seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

O/
You do good you get good.
You do bad you get worse.
This is not just for the temporal but the eternal.
Simple yet why sometimes do we expect good to ever come from bad? God specificly says He will give according to what is done.

A/
To have the mind of Christ I can not reward good for evil, no matter how seemingly small the evil act of evil I perceive it to be, because evil is evil.

P/
Father thank you for this lesson. Help me to make this apart of my value system and moral code. Help me to have Your mind. Thank you, in Jesus name amen.
