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 God will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good. They want glory, honor, and life that never ends.
8 But there are others who only look out for themselves. They don't accept the truth. They go down an evil path. God will pour out his burning anger on them.
9 There will be trouble and suffering for everyone who does evil. That is meant first for the Jews. It is also meant for the non-Jews.
10 But there will be glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good. That is meant first for the Jews. It is also meant for the non-Jews.
11 God treats everyone the same.
