JMNT(i)
2 Now we have seen and thus know (or: are aware)
that result of God’s judgment (decision rendered; separation; determination)
is down from, in line with and accords to Truth and reality, [
coming]
upon those habitually performing or committing such things.
3 Yet you continue logically thinking (reckoning; counting on)
this, O human – the one continuously judging those who are normally performing or committing such things, and yet are also a person habitually doing the same things – that you will proceed in making an escape out of the result of God’s judgment (the effect of a decision from God)?
4 Or, are you continually having a "down-oriented" frame of mind (or: despising; thinking down or with disrespect; or: = a negative disposition)
concerning the riches (or: wealth)
of His kind and gentle usefulness (benevolence with a sweet disposition; kindness), [
His]
delaying forbearance (the tolerant holding-back)
and [
His]
patient longsuffering, constantly being ignorant that God’s kind and gentle usefulness (benevolence with a sweet disposition)
is continuously leading you into a change of mind and purpose (a paradigm shift; or: = repentance with a change of heart and thinking, accompanied by a turn, or return, to God)?
5 Yet down from your hardness (or: in line with and in accord to your obstinacy)
and an unrepentant heart (= unchanged thinking and affection in the center of your being)
you habitually collect and lay up stores of personal emotion in yourself (or: progressively treasure up to yourself inherent fervor, passionate impulse and a mental bent or a disposition; or: periodically bank for yourself anger, indignation or wrath)
within a day of personal emotion (fervor; passion; anger; etc.)
and of an unveiling of a decision of rightwising from God (or: of a revealing of God’s verdict regarding fair and equitable dealing; of an uncovering of a just judgment which is God; of a disclosure of a separation for a decision having the character of the Way pointed out from God; disclosure from God's right evaluation),
6 Who will progressively award in each person (or: give back to each one; pay for each one)
down from (in line with; in accord to; to the level of)
his works (actions; deeds):
7 in those (to those; for those),
on the one hand, in accord with [
the]
patient endurance (humbly remaining under for persistent support)
of a good work (or: virtuous action) [
who]
are constantly seeking glory (a good reputation; a manifestation of that which calls forth praise)
and honor (value; worth)
and incorruptibility (or: incorruption) –
life which belongs to, is connected with, and is proper to the Age (or: eonian life; the life of and for the ages).
8 Yet, on the other hand, in those (to those; for those)
out of a work for ambitious, factious or contentious purposes, and in (or: by)
being continuously incompliant (disobedient; unwilling to be persuaded)
to (or: by)
the Truth (reality; veritable essence),
but constantly compliant (obedient; persuaded)
in, to, by and for the injustice (inequity; that which is not in accord with the Way pointed out), [
there will be]
personal emotion (or: inherent fervor; passionate impulse; anger; indignation; wrath; a habit of mind; a mental bent or disposition)
and rushing of feelings (or: intense passion of the mind; violent breathing; glowing animation; turbulent commotion of the mind; or: rage; fury),
9 pressure (affliction; trouble; tribulation; ordeal)
and squeezed narrowness (tight restriction; distress; anguish) –
upon every soul of mankind which is persistently in himself working down and effecting the bad (the ugly; the worthless; the evil; the injurious; the bad situation; the worthless quality; the malicious intent) –
both of a Jew, first, and also of a Greek (or: one of the Hellenist culture);
10 but yet glory (a manifestation of that which calls forth praise; a credible reputation)
and honor (value; worth)
and peace (or: harmony; [=Shalom])
in, to, for and with everyone habitually working and accomplishing in himself the Good (or: the virtuous and excellent)
both in, to, and for a Jew, first, and also in, to and for a Greek (or: Hellenist);
