Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 2:1

CONTENTS Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. (2) But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. (3) And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? (4) Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Romans 2:1

Wherefore thou art inexcusable, &c. He seems to give a general admonition to every one, both Jews and Gentiles, not to blame, judge, or condemn others, when perhaps he, or those of his religion, may be guilty of the like sins. Let him rather call to mind the just judgment of God, which, they that are sinners, cannot escape. Let him also reflect, that if God hath hitherto deferred to punish him, it hat been through the riches and abundance of his goodness, patience, and long-forbearance,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:1-16

1-16 The Jews thought themselves a holy people, entitled to their privileges by right, while they were unthankful, rebellious, and unrighteous. But all who act thus, of every nation, age, and description, must be reminded that the judgment of God will be according to their real character. The case is so plain, that we may appeal to the sinner's own thoughts. In every wilful sin, there is contempt of the goodness of God. And though the branches of man's disobedience are very various, all spring... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 2:1-99

Romans 2 THE HEATHEN WORLD of nineteen centuries ago had however in its midst a number of peoples who were highly civilized. The apostle Paul knew that he was as regards the Gospel as much a debtor to the Greek who was wise, as to the Barbarian who was unwise. As we open chapter 2, we find him turning from the one to the other. His style becomes very graphic. It is almost as if at this point he saw a highly refined and polished Greek standing by, and quite approving of his denunciation of the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 2:1-4

The Guilt of the Jews. Correct knowledge and judgment alone avails nothing: v. 1. Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for wherein thou judgest another thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. v. 2. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. v. 3. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the... read more

Romans 2:1-161Therefore [Wherefore] thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another [the other, thy neighbor, τὸν ἕτερον], thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them3which [those who] commit such things. And [But] thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do [those who practise] such things, and doest thesame, that thou shalt escape the... read more

Leave Judgment unto God Romans 2:1-11 In this chapter the Apostle turns to address the Jews. His purpose is to prove that though they may deem themselves superior to the Gentiles and capable of judging them, they may be therefore liable to more severe judgment; because, notwithstanding their superior knowledge, they commit the same sins. God will judge men, not by their professions but by their works. Those who are harshest in condemning others are often guilty of the same sins, though in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 2:1-29

It is evident that the apostle here turned to the Jew, though he did not immediately name him. He charged the Jew with the sin of practicing the very evils he condemned in the Gentiles. He is at least as great a failure as the Gentile in the matter of actual righteousness. Godliness, as privileged relationship, is of no value except as it produces actual righteousness. In verses Rom 2:21-23 the apostle declared the ethical failure of the Jew. This he did by asking a series of questions, every... read more

The Sinful Heart Romans 2:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. God's X-ray picture of the human heart. At the close of the first chapter of Romans, there is such a graphic description of the heart of sin, that we can scarcely refrain from using it as an introduction to our study in the second chapter of Romans. (1) God describes the heart in the Old Testament along the same line, when He says: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (2) In the New Testament,... read more

The Wrath and Judgments of God Romans 1:32 ; Romans 2:1-12 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we listen to the pulsings of twentieth century thought, we find that God is not only being denied by many, but his wrath against unrighteousness and His judgments against sin are being generally set aside by the ungodly. A study of the Word of God reveals that God's love and goodness in no sense lessens the severity of His judgment against the ungodly. Grace does not make justice negligible; it rather makes it... read more
