Romanos 2
Theodoret of Cyrus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Romanos 2:7
Well-doing is for a time, but the reward is eternal. Moreover, eternity applies not only to life but to honor, glory and immortality as well. Paul wanted to show that there are many rewards for those who are good. — INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS
Romanos 2:9
Here Paul uses the word Greek to refer not to Gentile believers but to those who lived before Christ's incarnation. — INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS
Romanos 2:10
God did not promise eternal life to those who worshiped idols but to those who even apart from the law led a Mosaic life, embraced godliness and the worship of God, and were concerned about righteousness. — INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS
Romanos 2:21
Paul shows here and in the next two verses that the Jews had learned little from the law even if they gloried in the letter of it. When they tried to teach others, their deeds contradicted their words, and their pride in the law was pointless. — INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS
