“But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:”
But glory, honour and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. The mirror image: those who do good (ergon agathon) receive glory, honor, and peace (eirēnē). The repetition of Jew first, then Gentile establishes that God's justice is impartial—the privilege once held in the first promise is also universal in its application here. Yet the question persists: who truly does good?
