Romans Chapter 2 verse 2 Holy Bible

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) We are sure.--St. Paul assumes that this will be acknowledged as a general principle by his readers, whether Jew or Gentile, as well as by himself. There is still a strong under-current of allusion to the way in which the Jew was apt to fall back upon his privileges. "Do not think that they will save you from standing before precisely the same tribunal as the Gentiles." The Jews, it seems, had an idea that the Gentiles only would be judged, while they would be able to claim admission into the Messianic kingdom as theirs by right of birth.According to truth.--The principle on which God's judgment will proceed will be that of truth or reality, as opposed to appearance, worldly status, formal precedence, &c. It will ask what a man is, not to what race he belongs.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekAndδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.we knowοἴδαμεν (oidamen)Verb - Perfect Indicative Active - 1st Person PluralStrong's 1492: To know, remember, appreciate. thatὅτι (hoti)ConjunctionStrong's 3754: Neuter of hostis as conjunction; demonstrative, that; causative, because.God’sΘεοῦ (Theou)Noun - Genitive Masculine SingularStrong's 2316: A deity, especially the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very.judgmentκρίμα (krima)Noun - Nominative Neuter SingularStrong's 2917: From krino; a decision ('crime').againstἐπὶ (epi)PrepositionStrong's 1909: On, to, against, on the basis of, at. those whoτοὺς (tous)Article - Accusative Masculine PluralStrong's 3588: The, the definite article.
