Romans 2:7

Verse 7. To them. Whoever they may be. Patient continuance. Who by perseverance in well doing, or in a good work. It means, that they who so continue or persevere in good works as to evince that they are disposed to obey the law of God. It does not mean those who perform one single act, but those who so live as to show that this is their character to obey God. It is the uniform doctrine of the Bible, that none will be saved but those who persevere in a life of holiness, Re 5:10; Mt 10:22; Heb 10:38,39. No other conduct gives evidence of piety but that which continues in the ways of righteousness.
