# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Paul continues to remind the people that all people are wicked.
|
|
|
|
# But it is to the extent of your hardness and unrepentant heart
|
|
|
|
Paul uses a metaphor to compare a person who refuses to obey God to something hard, like a stone. He also uses the metonym "heart" to represent the person's mind or inner being. AT: "It is because you refuse to listen and repent" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# hardness and unrepentant heart
|
|
|
|
This is a doublet that you can combine as "unrepentant heart." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
|
|
|
|
# you are storing up for yourself wrath
|
|
|
|
The phrase "storing up" implies a metaphor that usually refers to a person gathering his treasures and putting them in a safe place. Paul says, instead of treasures, that the person is gathering God's punishment. The longer they go without repenting, the more severe the punishment. AT: "you are making your punishment worse" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# on the day of wrath ... the day of the revelation of God's righteous judgment
|
|
|
|
Both of these phrases refer to the same day. AT: "when God shows everyone that he is angry and that he judges all people fairly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
|
|
|
|
# pay back
|
|
|
|
"give a fair reward or punishment"
|
|
|
|
# to every person the same measure of his actions
|
|
|
|
"according to what each person has done"
|
|
|
|
# have sought
|
|
|
|
This means that they act in a way that will lead to a positive decision from God on judgment day.
|
|
|
|
# praise, honor, and incorruptibility
|
|
|
|
They want God to praise and honor them, and they want to never die.
|
|
|
|
# incorruptibility
|
|
|
|
This refers to physical, not moral, decay.
