Did Paul just say G-d will repay a person for his deeds? ~ Cross reference of Romans 2:6 to Psalm 62:13


Is it only me or does Paul confuse you also. Here he preaches that G-d will reward a person according to his deeds. If your deeds are good, G-d will bless you and if you deeds are evil, G-d will punish you. So simple and true.  I think this is one of the few cross references of Paul where we can say "Good job Paul"

Paul says that if the law was not there, he would have been sinless. See what he says here

Romans 2:12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

His core message though is that man is such a helpless being that no matter how many good deeds he does, he will not be able to save himself. 

As we go through the letters of Paul, you will see that according to the private revelation(s) he got from Jesus, Paul pushes one point consistently that anyone abiding by the Torah will die by the Torah and only faith in Jesus's blood can save a person from hell.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.

My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.


G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.

Romans 2:5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” 7 To those who by persistence 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 evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism.

Psalm 62:13 And You, O Lord, have kindness, for You repay a man according to his deed.

Proverbs 24:12 will you say, "Behold, we did not know this"? Is it not so that He Who counts hearts understands, and He Who guards your soul knows, and He will requite a man according to his deed?
