Wicked people do not really gain anything, but if you do what is right, you are certain to be rewarded.

If it is, you have a bright future.

But evil people are doomed; what they have done to others will now be done to them.

Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted.

"Make certain you do not perform your religious duties in public so that people will see what you do. If you do these things publicly, you will not have any reward from your Father in heaven.

Then it will be a private matter. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.

Whoever welcomes God's messenger because he is God's messenger, will share in his reward. And whoever welcomes a good man because he is good, will share in his reward.

You can be sure that whoever gives even a drink of cold water to one of the least of these my followers because he is my follower, will certainly receive a reward."

For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward each one according to his deeds.

No! Love your enemies and do good to them; lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God. For he is good to the ungrateful and the wicked.

and you will be blessed, because they are not able to pay you back. God will repay you on the day the good people rise from death."

For God will reward each of us according to what we have done.

Other people are selfish and reject what is right, in order to follow what is wrong; on them God will pour out his anger and fury.

But God will give glory, honor, and peace to all who do what is good, to the Jews first and also to the Gentiles.

For all of us must appear before Christ, to be judged by him. We will each receive what we deserve, according to everything we have done, good or bad, in our bodily life.

Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward what he has kept for his people. For Christ is the real Master you serve.

Do not lose your courage, then, because it brings with it a great reward.

He reckoned that to suffer scorn for the Messiah was worth far more than all the treasures of Egypt, for he kept his eyes on the future reward.

So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slaves and free people, between men and women; you are all one in union with Christ Jesus.

As a result, there is no longer any distinction between Gentiles and Jews, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarians, savages, slaves, and free, but Christ is all, Christ is in all.
