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?

Audio commentary on this verse

Note 4 at Rom. 2:3: These pious Jews could have argued with Paul that they were not committing the same sins that these heathens were, but in reality they were. They may not have worshiped idols, but they were covetous, which Colossians 3:5 reveals is idolatry. They may not have committed adultery, but they had lusted in their hearts, which Jesus said was equal to adultery (Mt. 5:28). They may not have murdered anyone, but they had hated, which was the same root sin (Mt. 5:21-22).

When viewed in this way, judgment for others disappears and mercy comes to light.
