7 But Jehovah said to Samuel: “Do not look at his appearance and at the height of his stature,+ for I have rejected him. For not the way man sees [is the way God sees],*+ because mere man sees what appears to the eyes;*+ but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart+ is.”*

12 In case you should say: “Look! We did not know of this,”+ will not he himself that is making an estimate of hearts discern it,+ and he himself that is observing your soul know+ and certainly pay back to earthling man according to his activity?+

19 great in counsel+ and abundant in acts,+ you whose eyes are opened upon all the ways of the sons of men,*+ in order to give to each one according to his ways and according to the fruitage of his dealings;+

27 The king himself will go into mourning;+ even a chieftain will clothe himself with desolation,+ and the very hands of the people of the land* will get disturbed. According to their way I shall act toward them,+ and with their judgments I shall judge them;+ and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.’”+

6 And he will render to each one according to his works:+

10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of the Christ,+ that each one may get his award for the things done through the body, according to the things he has practiced, whether it is good or vile.+

7 Do not be misled:+ God is not one to be mocked.+ For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap;+

25 Certainly the one that is doing wrong will receive back+ what he wrongly did, and there is no partiality.+

14 Alexander+ the coppersmith did me many injuries—Jehovah* will repay him according to his deeds+—

17 Furthermore, if YOU are calling upon the Father who judges impartially*+ according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves with fear+ during the time of YOUR alien residence.+

12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small,+ standing before the throne, and scrolls* were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life.+ And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.+

12 “‘Look! I am coming quickly,+ and the reward+ I give is with me, to render to each one as his work is.+
