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.
