Ezekiel 16:43

16:43 “‘Because you did not remember the days of your youth and have enraged me with all these deeds, I hereby repay you for what you have done, ¹  declares the sovereign Lord. Have you not engaged in prostitution on top of all your other abominable practices?

Matthew 16:27

16:27 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. ¹⁶ 

Romans 2:5-6

2:5 But because of your stubbornness ¹⁷  and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed! ¹⁸  2:6 He ¹⁹  will reward ²⁰  each one according to his works: ²¹ 

[16:43]  ¹ tn Heb “your way on (your) head I have placed.”

[18:30]  ² tn Heb “ways.”

[18:30]  ³ tn The verbs and persons in this verse are plural whereas the individual has been the subject of the chapter.

[18:30]  ⁴ tn Or “leading to punishment.”

[22:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “their way on their head I have placed.”

[23:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “come against.”

[23:24]  ⁷ tn This is the only occurrence of this term in the OT. The precise meaning is uncertain.

[23:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “an assembly of peoples.”

[23:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “I will place before them judgment.”

[23:29]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew term means “labor,” but by extension it can also refer to that for which one works.

[23:29]  ¹¹ tn Heb “The nakedness of your prostitution will be exposed, and your obscene conduct and your harlotry.”

[3:11]  ¹² tn Heb “for the work of his hands will be done to him.”

[4:18]  ¹³ tn Heb “Your way and your deeds.”

[4:18]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “How bitter!”

[4:18]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Indeed, it reaches to your heart.” The subject must be the pain alluded to in the last half of the preceding line; the verb is masculine, agreeing with the adjective translated “painful.” The only other possible antecedent “punishment” is feminine.

[16:27]  ¹⁶ sn An allusion to Pss 28:4; 62:12; cf. Prov 24:12.

[2:5]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “hardness.” Concerning this imagery, see Jer 4:4; Ezek 3:7; 1 En. 16:3.

[2:5]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”

[2:6]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:6]  ²⁰ tn Or “will render,” “will recompense.” In this context Paul is setting up a hypothetical situation, not stating that salvation is by works.

[2:6]  ²¹ sn A quotation from Ps 62:12; Prov 24:12; a close approximation to Matt 16:27.
