Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:6-11

God Will Be Impartial In Judgment (2:6-11). As mentioned above this new section is in the form of a chiasmus. The chiasmus was found regularly in the works of Moses, and in other books of the Old Testament, forming an a b c c b a pattern or equivalent, with the repetition of a phrase sometimes coming in the second half (‘of the Jew first and also of the Greek’ - ‘to the Jew first and also to the Greek’). The chiasmus here is as follows: a ‘Who will render to every man according to his... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:7

‘To those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life,’ For God will in that day render to those who by patient endurance in well-doing seek for glory (from God) and honour (in God’s eyes) and incorruption, eternal life. In view of the reference to incorruption, ‘glory’ here may have in mind heavenly splendour. But his picture here is of the ideal man whose whole heart is set on well-doing in the expectation of glory and honour from God, and of final... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:1-16

Romans 2:1-Nehemiah : . Some one interjects: “ I do not approve, I condemn the sins you describe.” “ Then you condemn yourself,” Paul retorts, “ for you commit them!” The Moralist under Condemnation, with the flagitious sinner.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 2:7

What he had laid down in general, he amplifies more particularly. Patient continuance; or perseverance in well doing, which implies patience: see Matthew 10:22; Matthew 24:13; Hebrews 10:36. Immortality; or incorruption: he adds this to show, that the glory and honour he speaks of was not such as the Gentiles usually sought, who made worldly glory the scope of their actions; but it was eternal in the heavens, and such as never fades away. Eternal life; i.e. God will render eternal life to such:... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 2:1-29

Romans 2:0 The Practical Outcome of Judaism. I. The first thing on which St. Paul lays anxious stress in this passage is this: The judgment of God according to men's works is just, inevitable, and impartial. It is a judgment according to works which the Jew ought, on theory, to challenge. For he seeks to be saved by a "law" that is, by a thing to be done. If he is to be justified at all, it must be through the coincidence of his life with that rule of living which God gave to his nation and on... read more

Who will render to every man according to his deeds: to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; but glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 2:1-29

Chapter 2Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judges ( Romans 2:1 ):You see, I read this list and I say, "Oh, yes, it is horrible.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 2:1-29

Romans 2:1 . Therefore thou art inexcusable, oh man, whether Roman or Jew, who judgest another, and doest the same thing thyself, though it may be in some other way. But as the judgment of God is according to truth, for he knows the secrets of the heart, thou canst not escape condemnation. This inference is drawn from the preseding catalogue of crimes. Romans 2:4 . Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness; presuming that because he does not now punish thee, he never will. Proverbs... read more
