Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:28-29

‘For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh, but he is a Jew who is one inwardly (hiddenly), and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.’ Paul now concludes his argument by describing ‘the true Jew’. Based on his arguments above, being a Jew is not something dependent on a man’s own outward claims or on the external evidence of circumcision. It is rather based on what he is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 2:17-29

Romans 2:17-Joel : . Now Paul accosts the Jew, reproving his pride of law, made void by disloyalty. Romans 2:17-Proverbs : . His pretensions (“ But if thou bearest the name of Jew,” etc.), provoke the questions of Romans 2:21-Jeremiah : : the commandments he inculcates on others, he so violates that “ God” is “ dishonoured,” and “ His name is blasphemed among the Gentiles.” The “ blasphemy” of Isaiah 52:5 was occasioned by the insolence of Gentile oppressors; this by the hypocrisy of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 2:28

He is not a Jew; a right or true Jew, who is heir of the promises made to the fathers. That is one outwardly; the word only is to be understood: see 1 Corinthians 1:17. Neither is that circumcision; the right and true circumcision, which God principally requires, and is available unto salvation: that circumcision is not much to be accounted of which is only the cutting off an outward skin. read more

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 2:27.—φύσεως plainly means here what we call a state of nature, in distinction from a state in which a revelation is enjoyed.Romans 2:29.—Olshausen says that Ruchert is right in understanding πνεῦμα of the New γράμμα of the Old Testament, for the spirit in the Old Testament is just the New Testament in its πλήρωσις: consisting in spirit, not in letter; spiritual, not literal; a new dispensation, not of letter, but of spirit—not consisting of a written code of enactments,... 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

DISCOURSE: 1827THE NATURE AND EXCELLENCE OF TRUE RELIGIONRomans 2:28-29. He is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 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.IF we were to estimate men’s religion by the degree of confidence which they expressed, we should be ready to think that the glory of the latter day were already... read more

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. My, I just don't know what we are going to do, the world is going so terrible, bad. Terrible that people would do those kind of things, terrible that people would live like that." Well, you are inexcusable O man whoever you are that judges.for wherein you judge another, you are condemning yourself; for you that judge are doing the same... read more

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

Romans 2:17-29Behold, thou art called a Jew.The Jews also without excuseHitherto the apostle, in seeking to shut up the Jew unto the faith of Christ, has contented himself with an enunciation of the equitable principles on which the final judgment shall proceed, simply affirming, of both rewards and punishments, that they shall be to the Jew first, but also to the Gentile. He now proceeds, in a direct appeal to the Jew, to indicate to him the folly of any hope of escape but in the free grace of... read more
