Romans 2:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 2:3

God’s Righteous Judgment

1 Therefore you are ^ainexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, ^bfor in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

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”:
