Verse 2
‘And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practise such things.’
He then warns them to remember that there is Another Who will judge, Who will judge absolutely fairly and take everything into account. ‘We know.’ It is something recognised by all such judges. Outwardly at least it is the basis on which they all judge. But as the Judge of all He will carry it into effect. He will judge on the basis of the truth, on the basis of what actually is. He is the One Who ‘will by no means clear the guilty’ (Exodus 34:7; Numbers 14:18). As Abraham declared, ‘Will not the Judge of all the world do right?’ (Genesis 18:25). And this judgment will be applied to all who practise such things as have been described, without discrimination. For ‘All things are naked and open to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do’ (Hebrews 4:13).
