Romans 2:2-10

²We know very well that God will judge and punish fairly non-Jewish people who do such evil things.

³So, you who say God should punish others for doing evil things yet you do evil things yourself, ◄you should certainly not think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God!/do you think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God?► RHQ

⁴And you should not say, “God is acting very tolerantly and patiently toward me, so I do not need to stop sinning DOU.” ◄You should realize that God is acting in a kind manner toward you in order to encourage you (sg) to turn away from your sinful behavior!/Do you not realize that God is acting in a kind manner toward you in order to encourage you (sg) to turn away from your sinful behavior?► RHQ

⁵But instead, by your stubbornly refusing to turn away from your sinful behavior DOU, you are causing MET God to punish you even more severely. He will do that at the time when he shows that he is angry and judges people fairly.

⁶God will pay back everyone according to what they deserve for what they have done.

⁷Specifically, some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored by God DOU and to receive a life that will not end. God will reward them by enabling them to live forever.

⁸But some people act in a selfish way and refuse to believe that what God says is true, and they do the things that God says are wrong. God will punish them very severely DOU, MTY.

⁹He will cause everyone who habitually does evil deeds to suffer greatly, with the result that they will become severely distressed DOU. This certainly will happen to the Jews who refuse to accept God's message, because God gave them the privilege to be his special people, but it will also happen to the non-Jews.

¹⁰But God will greatly reward spiritually MET, DOU every person who habitually does good deeds. He will certainly do this for the Jews because God chose them as his special people, but he will also do it for the non-Jews.
