Matthew 16:27 (NIV) reads, “For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.” Some people won’t like that “reward.” Alexander, for example, was an enemy of the Apostle Paul and was probably the individual most responsible for Paul’s arrest and eventual execution.
