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.

Romans 2:9 In-Context

7 Some people, by always continuing to do good, live for God's glory, for honor, and for life that has no end. God will give them life forever.
8 But other people are selfish. They refuse to follow truth and, instead, follow evil. God will give them his punishment and anger.
9 He will give trouble and suffering to everyone who does evil -- to the Jews first and also to those who are not Jews.
10 But he will give glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does good -- to the Jews first and also to those who are not Jews.
11 For God judges all people in the same way.
