Romans 2:5
Compare all
3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4 Or do you despise athe riches of His goodness, bforbearance, and clongsuffering, dnot knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?  
5 But in accordance with your hardness and your1 impenitent heart ayou are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,  
6 who a“will render to each one according to his deeds”:  
7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;
8 but to those who are self-seeking and ado not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,  
9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew afirst and also of the Greek;  
10 abut glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.  
11 For athere is no partiality with God.  
12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law
13 (for anot the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;  
14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,
15 who show the awork of the law written in their hearts, their bconscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)  
16 ain the day when God will judge the secrets of men bby Jesus Christ, caccording to my gospel.  

The Jews Guilty as the Gentiles

17 Indeed ayou are called a Jew, and brest on the law, cand make your boast in God,  
18 and aknow His will, and bapprove the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,  
19 and aare confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,  
20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, ahaving the form of knowledge and truth in the law.  
21 aYou, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?  
22 You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, ado you rob temples?  
23 You who amake your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?  
24 For a“the name of God is bblasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.  

Circumcision of No Avail

25 aFor circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.  
26 Therefore, aif an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

John Wesley's Notes
<< Romans 2:4   Romans 2:6 >>


Romans 2:5

Treasurest up wrath - Although thou thinkest thou art treasuring up all good things. O what a treasure may a man lay up either way, in this short day of life! To thyself - Not to him whom thou judgest. In the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God - Just opposite to "the goodness and forbearance and longsuffering" of God. When God shall be revealed, then shall also be "revealed" the secrets of men's hearts, Romans 2:16. Forbearance and revelation respect God, and are opposed to each other; longsuffering and righteous judgment respect the sinner; goodness and wrath are words of a more general import.
