Romans 2:7
To them. First, the apostle speaks of the reward that shall be
given to those that live holy lives.
By patient continuance. No one can please God who only lives a
holy life at times. The Christian life is not spasmodic. There must be
constant effort, patient perseverance, a constant seeking. Jesus, in
the parable of the sower, says the good ground represents those "who
have the Word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience"
(Luke 8:15).
Seek. Future salvation is thus described as an object of pursuit.
It is "glory", because of a glorious life; "honor", because it is a
reward.
Immortality. "Incorruption" (ASV); it is not subject to decay.
Eternal life. This sums up what God bestows on those who seek
glory, etc., by "a patient continuance in well doing".
