Romans 2:1-9

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 2:5-10

The righteous judgment of God: v. 5. But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, v. 6. who will render to every man according to his deeds: v. 7. to them who by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; v. 8. but unto them that are contentious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, v. 9. ... 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.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 2:1-11

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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 2:1-10

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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 2:1-12

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 2:4

AN INCENTIVE TO REPENTANCE‘The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.’ Romans 2:4‘The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.’ God is very good to us. He gives us time for repentance. He waits to be gracious. He spares men who provoke Him to anger every day, that He might see if they will return and repent. But God will not always wait. I. Let the goodness of God touch your heart!—Think how good God has been to you—how many, no worse sinners than you, have been cut off in their... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:1

Paul Challenges All Who Judge Others To Consider What It Involves For Themselves (2:1-5). ‘For this reason you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judges, for in that in which you judge another, you condemn yourself, for you who are judging are practising the same things.’ ‘For this reason’ refers back to the previous argument about the many sins of mankind, and especially to the final verses of chapter 1. He wants his readers to recognise that what he has said there also applies to... read more
