ὅσοι & ἀνόμως ἥμαρτον

as_many_as & unlawfully sinned

Paul uses this phrase to refer to non-Jews, whom he calls “the Greek” in 2:9–10. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “as many non-Jewish people as have sinned without the law”

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

ἀνόμως & ἀνόμως & νόμῳ & νόμου

unlawfully & unlawfully & law & law

The word law is a singular noun that refers to a group of laws that God gave Israel by dictating them to Moses. See the discussion of this term in the General Notes for this chapter. Alternate translation: “without God’s laws … without God’s laws … God’s laws … God’s laws”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνόμως & ἀνόμως

unlawfully & unlawfully

Here, without the law refers to not knowing God’s law. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “without knowing God’s law” or “in ignorance of God’s law”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

διὰ νόμου κριθήσονται

by law /will_be_being/_judged

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ νόμου
