Romans 2:1-16 - The Principles of Justice Which God Will Use
in Judging the World 

        In order to lay the groundwork for his discussion of the guilt of the Jews, Paul explains the principles of justice which God will use in judging the world. (The principles by which God judges will be the same for all men - Jews and Gentiles alike) (Romans 2:1-16)

 

       The First Principle: God will judge men according to what they have done - according to their works. (Romans 2:1-11)

 

       The Second Principle: God will judge men according to the light (i.e., Knowledge) they have possessed - according to the revelation of God’s Law that they have lived under. (Romans 2:12-16)
