OET (OET-LV) who will_be_giving_back to_each one according_to the works of_him:

OET (OET-RV) as each person will be judged by their actions.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–16: The unbelieving hypocrite must change his thinking

In all of chapter two, Paul wrote as if to someone who disagreed with him. He used the singular “you” throughout the chapter. This form of teaching is called a “diatribe.” Only one person is talking (or writing), but it is as if two people are talking back and forth, asking and answering questions, making objections and responding. Using this diatribe, Paul rebuked those who judged others improperly. The person whom Paul spoke to here was not a believer. His evil deeds store up God’s wrath against him (2:5), and his sins will cause him to perish (2:12).

In this section, Paul addressed someone who judged others as bad but did the same things (2:1). God would punish such a person (2:2–3); it is according to what a person has done (2:6–11) and according to the knowledge of God that a person has (2:12–15).

Here are other possible headings for this section:

The person who does not believe and judges other people as bad yet does the same things

Hypocritical people who do not believe in Jesus

2:6

God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”

Paul talked here about what will take place at God’s judgment time in the future.

God “will repay: Here the Greek word that the BSB translates as repay means “to pay back,” or “to give someone what he deserves.” Here are other ways to translate this clause:

He will repay (NJB)

God will reward or punish (NCV)

each one: This phrase refers to every person. For example:

to each person (NIV)

according to his deeds: This phrase indicates that God will reward good deeds and punish bad deeds.

deeds: Here this word means “what someone did.”

General Comment on 2:6

Similar words are found in Psalm 62:12 and Proverbs 24:12. If you indicate the location of quotes from the Old Testament with cross-references, you may want to do so here.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ

˓will_be˒_giving_back ˱to˲_each_‹one› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅς ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατά τά ἔργα αὐτοῦ)

This clause is a quotation from the Old Testament ([Psalm 62:12](../psa/062/012.md)). If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as a direct quotation. Alternate translation: [who “will pay back to each one according to his deeds”]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ

˓will_be˒_giving_back ˱to˲_each_‹one› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅς ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατά τά ἔργα αὐτοῦ)

Here Paul uses pay back to refer to appropriately punishing or rewarding someone as if the punishment or reward was reciprocal payment for that person’s deeds. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [will appropriately punish or reward each one according to his deeds]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅς ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατά τά ἔργα αὐτοῦ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of deeds, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [how he acts] or [what he does]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:6-11 Paul uses a chiasm (“X” arrangement) to make his point:

  1. A God judges everyone the same (2:6)
  2. B Life is the reward for doing good (2:7)
  3. C Wrath is the penalty for evil (2:8)
  4. C′ Wrath for doing evil (2:9)
  5. B′ Life for doing good (2:10)
  6. A′ God shows no favoritism (2:11)
