Catechesis

When Paul says, “He will render to each one according to his works,” not only the outward work ought to be understood, but all righteousness or unrighteousness. So, “Glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good,” namely, to the righteous. “You gave Me food” is cited as the fruit and witness of the righteousness of the heart and of faith and, therefore, eternal life is given to righteousness.—Ap V:252 [IV:373]
