Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

never ˱it˲_/might/_become

See how you translated this in 3:4.

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐπεὶ πῶς κρινεῖ ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον

otherwise how /will_be/_judging ¬the God the world

Here Paul is giving the reason why God is “not unrighteous for imposing his wrath,” as stated in the previous verse. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “Because if God were unrighteous, how would he judge the world”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πῶς κρινεῖ ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον

how /will_be/_judging ¬the God the world

In this clause Paul is not asking for information, but is using his question to emphasize that God could not judge the world if he were unrighteous. 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: “God certainly could not judge the world!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν κόσμον

the world

Here Paul uses world to refer to the people who live in the world. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the people in the world”
