Romans 2:1-29

As we proceed through the Book of Romans, we must remember that when Paul originally wrote this letter, there were not any chapter/verse divisions or punctuation as we have in most of our Bibles today. Therefore we must read the whole letter (epistle) looking at the context noticing the thought-content, and not be distracted by the chapter/verse divisions and the punctuation which were later added, even though they may be helpful to us in locating sections of scripture.

Romans 2:1 and 2:

2:1On-which-account you are without-defense, oh man, every-person judging, for in that-which you judge the different-person you condemn yourself, for you, the (person) judging, practice the same-things. .2But we knew2 that the judgment of God is according to truth on the (people) practicing the-things-of-this-kind.

Here, Paul changes from the plural to the singular individual “you”. Even though he addressed this whole letter in Romans 1:7 “…to all the (people) being in Rome (who are) loved1 of God, called, holy…” – he now teaches by addressing "oh man". All the holy-people (Christians) in Rome were not to take this to heart as though they were all doing what Paul is talking about, but they were to learn from this so-that they could better understand what was going-on around them from God's point of view in Rome and elsewhere. He writes:

On account of what is detailed in the previous verses (refer to Romans 1:28-32)…

But we (myself and the holy-people with me) knew and we still know (perceive, see) that…

God’s judgment is according to God’s truth.
