Romans chapter 2. English Standard Version. 1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man — you who ...

- Introduction. It is hard to account for all the data of Paul’s letter to the Romans, without concluding, along with Wedderburn, that ‘no one, single reason or cause will adequately explain the writing of Romans’.1 It is, nevertheless, helpful to distinguish between the single occasion that precipitated the letter, and the several purposes which Paul was seeking to accomplish by the letter, in view of that particular occasion.
- Paul’s Missionary Purpose. Paul entrusted the letter with Phoebe, whom he expected the believers to welcome on her arrival (16:1–2). Phoebe was to bring the letter as an advance instalment ahead of Paul’s own personal visit, since he was planning to ‘pass through’ Rome on his way to Spain (15:24; cf.
- Paul’s Pastoral Purpose. In 14:1–15:13 Paul directly addresses a pastoral issue that is causing division within the churches of Rome. There are those, whom Paul labels ‘the strong’ (15:1) who are despising ‘the weak in faith’ (14:1) or simply ‘the weak’ (14:2; 15:1).34 Conversely, the weak are standing in judgment over the strong.
- Paul’s Apologetic Purpose. So far I have argued that Paul had two purposes in mind when he wrote Romans. The first was a missionary purpose, and the second a pastoral purpose, the two being linked in various ways.
Romans 2. . Romans 2 challenges us to introspect and identify our own faults before judging others, recognizing God's judgement as righteous and impartial.

In verse 1 we have man sitting in judgment, but starting in verse 2 we have God on the throne of judgment which is proper and right. God is the perfect and righteous JUDGE, and in these first 16 verses we will discover ...
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him we ...
Oct 2, 2021 · God establishes believers (1:21) Here, in 1:23, Paul appeals to God as a witness as to his motive for substituting a letter for a visit. Paul has already appealed to his conscience and integrity (1:12) but now appeals to God’s own integrity. He swears an oath upon his own life (literally, “soul”) in the presence of God, and such appeals ...

Oct 16, 2018 · I think the answer is simpler than first appears. It is true that Paul's theology is "advanced" in every sense of the word. However, note Peter's statement in 1 Peter 5:12 suggests that he may not have been literate in Greek and had to use Silas (= Silvanus) to help him, presumably by dictating in Aramaic while Silas wrote in Greek as is obvious from the sentence structures etc.
