Romans 2:9
Tribulation and anguish. God, the righteous ruler, is displeased
and indignant, and hence sends the sore punishment of "tribulation and
anguish". "One refers to the external weight of affliction; the other
to the inward sense of that weight".
Upon every soul. Upon every evil doer, whether Jew or Gentile.
Of the Jew first. The Jew stood first in opportunity (Romans 1:16),
hence is first in responsibility.
And of the Greek. The whole Gentile world is meant, as in
Romans 1:16, the great race whose culture had spread over the world
being taken as the representative of all but the Jews. The emphatic
thought is that the "Jew", as well as the Gentile, shall be rendered
unto according to his works.
