Karma is not a Christian concept, but one rooted in eastern mysticism, Hinduism, Buddhism and the like. To mention God and Karma is incongruous. Just a thought

Not a very good thought.

Galatians 6:7 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Job 4:8 - Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

2 Corinthians 5:10 - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.

Galatians 6:8 - For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Proverbs 26:27 - Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

Fungi is correct. Karma is not a Christian (or Jewish) concept.

Your quotes are excellent and apt.

But these Biblical passages do not reflect karma.

Karma is based on past lives, as they believe, not what what is done in this, our one life.

Compare to the verse you posted:

2 Corinthians 5:10 - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.

Karma is the judgement. The belief is one’s current life is based on judgement of one’s previous incarnation.
