BUT WE ARE SURE THAT THE JUDGMENT OF GOD IS ACCORDING TO TRUTH AGAINST THEM WHICH COMMIT SUCH THINGS.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THINKEST THOU THIS, O MAN, THAT JUDGEST THEM WHICH DO SUCH THINGS, AND DOEST THE SAME, THAT THOU SHALT ESCAPE THE JUDGMENT OF GOD?... [ Continue Reading ]
OR DESPISEST THOU THE RICHES OF HIS GOODNESS AND FORBEARANCE AND LONG-SUFFERING, NOT KNOWING THAT THE GOODNESS OF GOD LEADETH THEE TO REPENTANCE? The apostle had uncovered the deep moral depravity of the Gentile world, a description that may well fill the reader with shuddering, horror, and loathing... [ Continue Reading ]

TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH, UPON EVERY SOUL OF MAN THAT DOETH EVIL, OF THE JEW FIRST AND ALSO OF THE GENTILE;... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT GLORY, HONOR, AND PEACE TO EVERY MAN THAT WORKETH GOOD, TO THE JEW FIRST AND ALSO TO THE GENTILE. The goodness of God, far from being an excuse for false security, rather, when abused, results in an aggravation of man's guilt. He that persists in hardening his heart against the merciful intentio... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR THERE IS NO RESPECT OF PERSONS WITH GOD.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE NECESSITY OF KEEPING THE LAW PROPERLY. Not the hearing of the Law, but the doing of the Law has value:... [ Continue Reading ]

WHICH SHOW THE WORK OF THE LAW WRITTEN IN THEIR HEARTS, THEIR CONSCIENCE ALSO BEARING WITNESS, AND THEIR THOUGHTS THE MEAN WHILE ACCUSING OR ELSE EXCUSING ONE ANOTHER,)... [ Continue Reading ]
IN THE DAY WHEN GOD SHALL JUDGE THE SECRETS OF MEN BY JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL. The apostle had plainly stated that the judgment of God on the last day would be a righteous judgment. This statement he now establishes by declaring that there is no respect of persons with God; the external... [ Continue Reading ]

THOU THAT MAKEST THY BOAST OF THE LAW, THROUGH BREAKING THE LAW DISHONOREST THOU GOD?... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES THROUGH YOU, AS IT IS WRITTEN. Here the apostle addresses himself directly to the Jews, whom he had evidently had in mind principally in the entire passage; he speaks to them as a nation. Instead of "behold" we read "but if," the entire passage sh... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR CIRCUMCISION VERILY PROFITETH, IF THOU KEEP THE LAW; BUT IF THOU BE A BREAKER OF THE LAW, THY CIRCUMCISION IS MADE UNCIRCUMCISION.... [ Continue Reading ]

BUT HE IS A JEW WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY, AND CIRCUMCISION IS THAT OF THE HEART, IN THE SPIRIT, AND NOT IN THE LETTER; WHOSE PRAISE IS NOT OF MEN, BUT OF GOD. To the arraignment of Paul the Jews might have raised the objection that he was forgetting the sacrament of circumcision and the special signifi... [ Continue Reading ]
