Romans 2:9 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 2:9

Tribulation and anguish
These, with the foregoing words, are expressive of the second death, the torments of hell, the worm that never dies, and the fire that is not quenched: which will fall

upon every soul of man that doth evil;
whose course of life and conversation is evil; for "the soul that sins shall die", ( Ezekiel 18:4 Ezekiel 18:20 ) , unless satisfaction is made for his sins by the blood of Christ:

of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
regard being had to what nation they belong.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Romans 2:9 In-Context

7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;

8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.

9 There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,

10 but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

11 For there is no partiality with God.
