Romans 2:1-16, God’s Principles of Judgment

Bible Study with Dr. Thomas Constable

Romans 2:1-16 explains God's principles of judgment and warns against hypocrisy and partiality. The passage begins by admonishing those who judge others for their sins while committing similar sins themselves. It then explains that God's judgment is based on truth and impartiality, and that those who do good will receive glory, honor, and immortality, while those who do evil will face wrath and fury. The passage also emphasizes that it is not just hearing the law that counts, but obeying it, and that the righteous will be judged based on their actions, not just their knowledge of the law. Finally, the passage concludes by saying that God's judgment is impartial and will apply equally to both Jews and Gentiles.
