Romans 2:1-16 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are that judge: for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself… I. HUMAN JUDGMENT IS PRONOUNCED BY INCONSISTENT MEN. The men who judge, often those who judge most sternly, are themselves guilty. David and Nathan. The accusers and the woman taken in adultery. In the light of the Sermon on the Mount we are all inconsistent. II. DIVINE JUDGMENT IS PRONOUNCED BY A PERFECTLY RIGHTEOUS BEING. We notice — 1. The standard by which God judges — truth. 2. The spirit in which God judges. His judgment is — (1) Long suffering; (2) Impartial; (3) Thorough. 3. The character of the Divine Judge is — (1) An inspiration to those who seek well-doing. (2) A terror to those who obey unrighteousness. (U. R. Thomas.) Parallel Verses KJV: Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. |
