Amen! We know that the unrepentant, the wicked will be punished according to how wicked they were. Here we find that the righteous will receive also according to their works. This will be surprise to many for they do not understand that the righteous are indeed righteous and they have done good things when filled with the Holy Spirit. The more the good works, the more the reward since it is according to their works. In other words, their righteousness is not as filthy rags as some teach. Their "good works" when they are not filled with the Holy Spirit are indeed as filthy rags.
