Romans 2:1
The Sinfulness of the Jews; Their Need of the Gospel
SUMMARY OF ROMANS 2: He Who Condemns Others Condemns Himself. God's
Judgments According to Truth, Without Respects of Persons. of Race.
Having the Law Does Not Justify Without Obedience to the Law. The
Jews Condemned by Their Own Law. Circumcision Cannot Save. The True
Circumcision, That of the Heart.
Therefore thou art inexcusable. Paul has just shown that the
Gentiles are great sinner, and are without excuse before God
(Romans 1:32). The Jew, however, would pronounce that conclusion just,
but would excuse himself. Hence Paul makes the application to them
also.
Whosoever thou art. Romans 2:17 shows that the Jews are in the
apostle's mind. Besides, the Jews, filled with spiritual pride, were
greatly given to judging others.
Another. The Greek says "the other"; the other division of the
world, the Gentiles.
Thou condemnest thyself. Because he practices the very thing he
condemns in others.
