Romans 2:3

2:3 And do you think, ¹  whoever you are, when you judge ²  those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, ³  that you will escape God’s judgment?

Romans 2:19

2:19 and if you are convinced ⁴  that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

Romans 14:22

14:22 The faith ⁵  you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves.

¹ tn Grk “do you think this,” referring to the clause in v. 3b.

² tn Grk “O man, the one who judges.”

³ tn Grk “and do them.” The other words are supplied to bring out the contrast implied in this clause.

⁴ tn This verb is parallel to the verbs in vv. 17-18a, so it shares the conditional meaning even though the word “if” is not repeated.

⁵ tc ‡ Several important Alexandrian witnesses (א A B C 048) have the relative pronoun ἥν ({hn, “the faith that you have”) at this juncture, but D F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï lat co lack it. Without the pronoun, the clause is more ambiguous (either “Keep the faith [that] you have between yourself and God” or “Do you have faith? Keep it between yourself and God”). The pronoun thus looks to be a motivated reading, created to clarify the meaning of the text. Even though it is found in the better witnesses, in this instance internal evidence should be given preference. NA²⁷ places the word in brackets, indicating some doubt as to its authenticity.
