People's Commentary (NT)
Romans 2:17
Behold, thou art called a Jew. Already, Paul has shown that all
men, Jew or Gentile, will be judged according to their deeds, whether
they have the law or not (Romans 2:1-16). Now he applies the argument
directly to the Jew, in order to show his need of the gospel as well as
the Gentile. Romans 2:17-20 state what the Jew claimed for himself.
Called a Jew. To Paul the word "Jew" had a meaning much like
"Christian" to us. It meant to him one of God's people.
Rested upon the law. There is no article before "law" in the
Greek. The Jew had law, in this case "the" law, for his foundation.
Makest thy boast of God. Boasted of God's favor to his race.
