OET interlinear ROM 2:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

λογίζῃ δὲ τοῦτο, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, ὁ κρίνων τοὺς τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας, καὶ ποιῶν αὐτά, ὅτι σὺ ἐκφεύξῃ τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱you˲_˓are˒_reckoning (Some words not found in SR-GNT: λογίζῃ Δέ τοῦτο ὦ ἄνθρωπε ὁ κρίνων τούς τά τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας καί ποιῶν αὐτά ὅτι σύ ἐκφεύξῃ τό κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Paul is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize that these judgmental people should know that God will finally judge them. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [But you should not think, O man, who judges those who are practicing such things and you are doing the same things, that you will escape from the judgment of God!]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο

this

The pronoun this refers to the final clause of this verse that you will escape from the judgment of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [this result]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

τοῦτο, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, ὁ κρίνων τοὺς τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας, καὶ ποιῶν αὐτά, ὅτι σὺ ἐκφεύξῃ τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ

this O person you judging (Some words not found in SR-GNT: λογίζῃ Δέ τοῦτο ὦ ἄνθρωπε ὁ κρίνων τούς τά τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας καί ποιῶν αὐτά ὅτι σύ ἐκφεύξῃ τό κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: [that you will escape from the judgment of God, O man, who judges those who are practicing such things and you are doing the same things]

The phrases such things and the same things refer to the litany of “the things that are not proper” in [1:28–32](../01/28.md). See how you translated such things in [2:2](../02/02.md) and the same things in [2:1](../02/01.md).

Here Paul speaks of judgment as if it were a person from whom someone could escape. Paul means that no one can avoid God’s judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that you will not prevent God’s judgment]
