In context
AI-assisted, sourcedRomans 2:17-29A Jew inwardly
About Romans 2"Thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself," Paul writes, for God "will render to every man according to his deeds," and "there is no respect of persons with God." "Not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers," and Gentiles without the law "shew the work of the law written in their hearts." To the one who is "called a Jew, and restest in the law," Paul says that God's name is blasphemed through those who break it, for "he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit."
