Romans 2
|
|
| 2:1
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. |
 (2:1)
"Wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself."
Should we judge others?
|
| 2:2
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against
them which commit such things.
|
| 2:3
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? |
|
| 2:4
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and
longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to
repentance? |
|
| 2:5
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; |
(2:5-6) "God ... will render to every man according to his deeds."
Is Salvation by faith alone?
What must you do to be saved?
|
| 2:6
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
|
| 2:7
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour
and immortality, eternal life: |
|
| 2:8
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, |
|
| 2:9
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the
Jew first, and also of the Gentile; |
|
| 2:10
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew
first, and also to the Gentile: |
|
| 2:11
For there is no respect of persons with God. |
(2:11) "There is no respect of persons with God."
Does God respect anyone?
(2:13) "The doers of the law shall be justified."
Is Salvation by faith alone?
What must you do to be saved?
|
| 2:12
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and
as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
|
| 2:13
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law
shall be justified.
|
| 2:14
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things
contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
|
| 2:15
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience
also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else
excusing one another;) |
|
| 2:16
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel. |
|
| 2:17
Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy
boast of God, |
|
| 2:18
And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent,
being instructed out of the law; |
|
| 2:19
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of
them which are in darkness, |
|
| 2:20
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of
knowledge and of the truth in the law. |
|
| 2:21
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou
that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
 (2:21a) "Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself?"
Practice what you preach.
(2:21b)
"Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?"
Is it OK to steal?
|
| 2:22
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit
adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
|
| 2:23
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law
dishonourest thou God?
|
| 2:24
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is
written.
|
| 2:25
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a
breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. |
 (2:25) "If thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision."
If you are circumcised and you break the law, your foreskin will grow back.
|
| 2:26
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall
not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
|
| 2:27
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law,
judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? |
|
| 2:28
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision,
which is outward in the flesh: |
|
| 2:29
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the
heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but
of God.
