Romans 2:10 NIV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 2:8-11

Romans 2:8-11. But unto them that are contentious Like thee, O Jew, who thus fightest against God. The character of the unbelieving Jews was disobedience, stubbornness, and impatience. Mr. Locke thinks the original expression, οι δε εξ εριθειας , the contentions, here spoken of, are Jews who refused to obey the gospel. “But as the apostle is speaking of the punishment of the wicked Gentiles, as well as of the wicked Jews, εριθεια , contention, must be a vice common to both. Accordingly,... 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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 2:9-10

Romans 2:9-10. Upon every soul, &c.— We see by these two verses, and chap. Rom 1:16 how carefully St. Paul lays it down, that there was now under the Gospel no other national distinction between Jews and Gentiles, but only a priority in the offer of the Gospel; which may farther satisfy us, that the distinction which St. Paul insists on so much here, and all through the first part of this epistle, is national; the comparison being between the Jews, as nationally the people of God, and the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 2:1-16

1. God’s principles of judgment 2:1-16Before showing the guilt of moral and religious people before God (Romans 2:17-29), Paul set forth the principles by which God will judge everyone (Romans 2:1-16). By so doing, he warned the self-righteous. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 2:5-11

God’s wrath is increasing against sinners while He waits (Romans 2:5). Each day that the self-righteous person persists in his self-righteousness God adds more guilt to his record. God will judge him one day (cf. Revelation 20:11-15). That day will be the day when God pours out His wrath on every sinner and the day when people will perceive His judgment as righteous. This judgment is in contrast to the judgment that the self-righteous person passes on himself when he considers himself guiltless... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:1-29

The Failure of the JewsIn Romans 1 St. Paul showed that the Gentiles were under God’s judgment on account of sin. Now he is about to turn to the Jews. He asserts first, that God’s judgment will fall impartially upon all sinners (Romans 2:1-11). Each man will be judged by the light which he has (Romans 2:12-16). The privileges and knowledge of the Jews only aggravated the guilt of their flagrant disobedience (Romans 2:17-24); and circumcision would not protect them, for God looks at the heart... read more

Judgment Romans 2:5-6 I. Belief in a Judgment is part of our faith in the sanity of the universe. Judgment is not an arbitrary enactment but an inevitable process: the sequel and corollary of our sense of responsibility. If goodness and right are anything more than words, there is Judgment to come out of all that is done on earth. Daniel Webster, the American, when asked what was the greatest thought that ever occupied his mind, replied, 'My personal accountability to God'. And I know of... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Romans 2:1-17

Chapter 6HUMAN GUILT UNIVERSAL: HE APPROACHES THE CONSCIENCE OF THE JEWRomans 2:1-17WE have appealed, for affirmation of St. Paul’s tremendous exposure of human sin, to a solemn and deliberate self-scrutiny, asking the man who doubts the justice of the picture to give up for the present any instinctive wish to vindicate other men, while he thinks a little while solely of himself. But another and opposite class of mistake has to be reckoned with, and precluded; the tendency of man to a facile... read more
