Romans 2:8
Romans 2:88But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
Watchtower commentary takes as the negative counterpart to v7 — those who disobey the truth and obey unrighteousness face wrath. The verse is read as the condemnation that motivates the JW life of compliance: avoid contention, obey the truth Jehovah has revealed through his organisation, and remain on the right side of judgment.
V8 continues Paul's prosecutorial setup. The wrath is real — unrighteousness brings divine anger. But the question is who belongs to the "contentious" class. answers: "Jews as well as Greeks are all under sin." Without Christ, every person is in v8's category. The rescue is in 3:24-25: the redeemed are "declared righteous as a free gift by his undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom paid by Christ Jesus" (NWT). The verse is true and grim — and the gospel is its only answer.
