Romans 2:2-3

2:2 Now we know that God’s judgment is in accordance with truth ¹  against those who practice such things. 2:3 And do you think, ²  whoever you are, when you judge ³  those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, ⁴  that you will escape God’s judgment?

Romans 1:32

1:32 Although they fully know ⁵  God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, ⁶  they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them. ⁷ 

Romans 16:18

16:18 For these are the kind who do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By their smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds ⁸  of the naive.

¹ tn Or “based on truth.”

² tn Grk “do you think this,” referring to the clause in v. 3b.

³ tn Grk “O man, the one who judges.”

⁴ tn Grk “and do them.” The other words are supplied to bring out the contrast implied in this clause.

³ tn Grk “who, knowing…, not only do them but also approve…” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
