2:9 There will be 1 affliction and distress on everyone 2 who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek, 3
Romans 7:19
7:19 For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!
Romans 7:21
7:21 So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.
1 tn No verb is expressed in this verse, but the verb “to be” is implied by the Greek construction. Literally “suffering and distress on everyone…”
2 tn Grk “every soul of man.”
3 sn Paul uses the term Greek here and in v. 10 to refer to non-Jews, i.e., Gentiles.
