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 

[2:2]  ¹ tn Or “based on truth.”

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

[2:3]  ³ tn Grk “O man, the one who judges.”

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “and do them.” The other words are supplied to bring out the contrast implied in this clause.

[1:32]  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.

[1:32]  ⁴ tn Grk “are worthy of death.”

[1:32]  ⁵ sn “Vice lists” like vv. 28-32 can be found elsewhere in the NT in Matt 15:19; Gal 5:19-21; 1 Tim 1:9-10; and 1 Pet 4:3. An example from the intertestamental period can be found in Wis 14:25-26.
