The word used in this Text, I find three several times in this Epistle: as here, and Chap. 10. 35. §. 132. & 11▪ 26. §. 125. In all which it implieth a reward whereby somewhat is recompensed.

The word translated greward, is diversly taken, according to the persons to whom, and work for which it is given. If to a person accepted of God, for a work approved by him, it importeth such a reward as compriseth under it grace, mercy, blessing. If to a wicked person, for an evil work, it intendeth a fearful revenge: and compriseth under it, anger, terror, curse. Christ useth this word in an indefinite sense, which in one case may be applied one way, in another case another way. My reward is with me, saith Christ, to give every man according to his work, Rev. 12 12. As men and their works are different, some good, some evil, so is Christs reward different. The reward of the good is eternal life: and of the evil, indignation and wrath, Rom. 2. 6, 7, 8.
