There are certainly some hints here:
6 He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality.
Dave has to understand that God will render to me according to my works - which are patient well-doing
Dave gets to seek for glory and honor and immortality, if Dave wants eternal life.
Dave cannot be self-seeking and disobedient to the truth.
etc.
