Romans 2:7-10 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:… This is the echo of verse 7. "Peace" is added in contrast to "anguish." He who is pursued by an antagonist with whom he cannot cope in strength, he who while thus pursued, finds himself shut in within some strait place, either on land or sea, can have no repose of spirit. But in heaven there are no foes to pursue, and no straits into which to he pursued. "Honour and glory" shall be enjoyed in uninterrupted peace. "On earth," says , "whatever good things a man has, he has with many troubles, even though he be rich and powerful, or even a king. Although, too, he may have no dissensions with others, he has them often with himself: there is war within his own thought. But in heaven all is reversed. There is calmness and freedom from trouble, and genuine peace." (J. Morison, D. D.)
