“But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God; who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:” to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life; but to those who are self-seeking, and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation, oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, on the Jew first, and also on the Greek. But glory and honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God. .”[Romans;2:5-11]

Faith, Works & Reward; Qur’an:
“Lo! this Qur’an guides unto that which is straightest, and gives tidings unto the believers who do good works that theirs will be a great reward.”[Qur’an;17:9]
“Those are they who disbelieve in the revelations of their Lord and in the meeting with Him. Therefore their works are vain, and on the Day of Resurrection We assign no weight to them.” [Qur’an;18:105]
“A similitude of those who disbelieve in their Lord: Their works are as ashes which the wind bloweth hard upon a stormy day. They have no control of aught that they have earned. That is the extreme failure.”[Qur’an;14:18]
“And lo! unto each thy Lord will verily repay his works in full. Lo! He is Informed of what they do”[Qur’an;11:111]
“[But,] verily, as for those who have attained to faith and do righteous deeds – their Lord guides them aright by means of their faith. [In the life to come,] running waters will flow at their feet in gardens of bliss; [Qur’an;10:9]
“they believe in God and the Last Day they enjoin good and forbid evil and rush in emulating each other in good deeds. These are the righteous people.”[Qur’an;3:114]
