Romans 2:11

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 2:11

This seems to be borrowed from 2 Chronicles 19:7, and Deuteronomy 10:17. You have the same again, Acts 10:34; see Job 34:19; Galatians 2:6; Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 6:9; 1 Peter 1:17. Obj. God loved Jacob, and hated Esau, when they were yet unborn, and had done neither good nor evil. Answer. This was not properly a respecting of persons, because God did not this as a judge, but as an elector: so the apostle states it, Romans 9:11-13. God is gracious to whom he will be gracious, and may do what... 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

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
