Roma 2:13

2:13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous before God, but those who do the law will be declared righteous. ¹ 

Roma 6:23

6:23 For the payoff ²  of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[2:13]  ¹ tn The Greek sentence expresses this contrast more succinctly than is possible in English. Grk “For not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be declared righteous.”

[6:23]  ² tn A figurative extension of ὀψώνιον (oywnion), which refers to a soldier’s pay or wages. Here it refers to the end result of an activity, seen as something one receives back in return. In this case the activity is sin, and the translation “payoff” captures this thought. See also L&N 89.42.
