Romans 2:6

To every man according to his deeds; when the question is, What is the ground on which sinners, who have broken God's law, can be justified? Paul always answers, By faith, and not by the deeds of the law. Chap Ro 3:28; Ga 2:16, etc. But when the question is, What character will God accept? he answers with James, "Not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:" verse Ro 2:13, compared with Jas 1:22-25; 2:14-26. True faith in Christ always makes men such "doers of the law." The faith that is without works is dead, Jas 2:26, and will be disowned by Christ at the last day. Mt 7:21-27.
