ローマ人への手紙 2:27 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 2:27-29

And shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature ( i.e. men in a state of nature, Without any distinct revelation, or sign of a peculiar covenant) judge thee (thou presumest, in virtue of thy position, to judge them; nay, rather, they shall judge thee ) , who by (rather, with, i.e. though in possession of ) the letter and circumcision dost transgress the Law? For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 2:27

Which is by nature - Which is the natural state of man; his condition before he is admitted to any of the unique rites of the Jewish religion.If it fulfil the law - If they who are uncircumcised keep the Law.Judge thee - Condemn thee as guilty. As we say, the conduct of such a man condemns us. He acts so much more consistently and uprightly than we do, that we see our guilt. For a similar mode of expression, see Matthew 12:41-42.Who by the letter ... - The translation here is certainly not... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 2:25-27

Romans 2:25-27. For circumcision verily profiteth He does not say justifieth. How far it profited is shown in the third and fourth chapters: if thou keep the law Here, as in many other passages, the apostle speaks to the thoughts of the Jewish readers. They fancied that circumcision, by showing that they were descended from Abraham, and were members of God’s covenant, would ensure their salvation, though they were ever so wicked. But the apostle tells them their circumcision would avail... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 2:1-29

The Jewish world (2:1-29)Not only are pagan Gentiles under God’s condemnation, Jews are also. Jews find fault with their Gentile neighbours, yet they do the same things themselves (2:1). They know that God is just and that he punishes sin. Therefore, when they suffer no immediate punishment for their behaviour, they think that God approves of them and will not punish them. They do not realize that in his kindness and patience he is giving them time to repent (2-4).Those who increase their sin... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 2:27

And shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?The words "by nature" in this verse are made the basis of referring this statement to pagans, or Gentiles, of the nobler variety, who were presumably living up to all the light they had; and, in that vein of thought, Hodge declared:The idea is that the obedient uncircumcised heathen would be better off; he would stand on higher ground than... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 2:27

Romans 2:27. And shall not uncircumcision, &c.— The Apostle here supposes that a heathen may be an honest, sober, good, kind, benevolent and holy man through the secret influences of the Spirit of God: for were it impossible for the Gentiles in any sense to fulfil the law of love, it would not be supposable that he should do it; and then the Apostle's argument would be without any foundation. And that he does not here speak of a Heathen converted, or to be converted to Christianity, is... read more

25-29. For circumcision—that is, One's being within the covenant of which circumcision was the outward sign and seal. verily profiteth, if thou keep the law—if the inward reality correspond to the outward sign. but if, &c.—that is, "Otherwise, thou art no better than the uncircumcised heathen." read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 2:17-29

2. The guilt of the Jews 2:17-29Even though the Jews had the advantages of the Mosaic Law and circumcision, their arrogance and fruitlessness offset these advantages. Divinely revealed religion is no substitute for trust and obedience toward God. Romans 2:17-29 are similar to Romans 1:18-32. In Romans 2:17-29, Paul showed that Jews are guilty before God just as he formerly proved all humanity guilty. In both sections he pointed out that man knew the truth but rejected it and consequently became... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 2:25-27

Next to the Mosaic Law, the Jews boasted almost equally in their circumcision. Most of the Jews in Paul’s day believed that God would not permit any observant Jew to enter perdition."R. [Rabbi] Levi said; In the Hereafter Abraham will sit at the entrance to Gehenna, and permit no circumcised Israelite to descend therein. What then will he do to those who have sinned very much? He will remove the foreskin from babes who died before circumcision and set it upon them [the sinners], and then let... read more
