"God will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life...glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek" (Romans 2:6-7, 10).

Jon and Justin consider the law, the gospel, and the argument of Paul from the early chapters of Romans in today's episode.
