Romans 2:1-11 NIV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 2:9

Tribulation and anguish ,.... These, with the foregoing words, are expressive of the second death, the torments of hell, the worm that never dies, and the fire that is not quenched: which will fall upon every soul of man that doth evil ; whose course of life and conversation is evil; for "the soul that sins shall die", Ezekiel 18:4 , unless satisfaction is made for his sins by the blood of Christ: of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile ; regard being had to what nation they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 2:10

But glory, honour, and peace ,.... Which are so many words for the everlasting happiness of the saints; which is a "crown of glory that fadeth not away" 1 Peter 5:4 ); an honour exceeding that of the greatest potentates upon earth, since such that enjoy it will be kings and priests, and sit with Christ on his throne to all eternity; and is a peace that passes all understanding: all which will be rendered to every man that doth good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile ; which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 2:11

For there is no respect of persons with God. It will not come into consideration, at the day of judgment, of what nation men are; or from what parents they are descended; nor of what age and sex persons be; nor in what state and condition they have lived in this world; nor will it be asked to what sect they have belonged, and by what denomination they have been called; or whether they have conformed to such and such externals and rituals in religion; but only whether they are righteous men... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:4

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness - Wilt thou render of none effect that marked benevolence of God towards thee which has given so many superior advantages, and that forbearance which has tolerated thy many miscarriages, and that long-suffering which, after repeated provocations, still continues to bear with thee? Not knowing - Αγνοων , not acknowledging that this goodness of God, which has so long manifested itself in forbearance and long-suffering, leadeth thee to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:5

But after thy hardness - Occasioned by thy long course of iniquity. And impenitent heart-produced by thy hardness, through which thou art callous to the calls and expostulations of conscience. Treasurest up - continuest to increase thy debt to the Divine justice, which will infallibly inflict wrath - punishment in the day of wrath - the judgment day, in which he will render to every man according to his works. The word treasure the Hebrew uses to express any kind of store or collection: -... read more

But unto them, etc. - 2. He will manifest his indignation, and inflict wrath - punishment, on all who are contentious - who obstinately dispute against the truth, and obey unrighteousness - who act under the influence of the principle of sin, and not under the influence of the Spirit of God. read more
