Romans 2:8-9

Context
2:8 but 1  wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition 2  and do not obey the truth but follow 3  unrighteousness. 2:9 There will be 4  affliction and distress on everyone 5  who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek, 6 

1 tn This contrast is clearer and stronger in Greek than can be easily expressed in English.

2 tn Grk “those who [are] from selfish ambition.”

3 tn Grk “are persuaded by, obey.”

4 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…”

5 tn Grk “every soul of man.”

6 sn Paul uses the term Greek here and in v. 10 to refer to non-Jews, i.e., Gentiles.
