Romans 2:5

2:5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed!

Romans 5:16

5:16 And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification.

Romans 14:4

14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on another’s servant? Before his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.


tn Grk “hardness.” Concerning this imagery, see Jer 4:4; Ezek 3:7; 1 En. 16:3.

tn Grk “in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”

tn Grk “and not as through the one who sinned [is] the gift.”

tn The word “transgression” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

tn Or “falls, trespasses,” the same word used in vv. 15, 17, 18, 20.

tc Most mss, especially Western and Byzantine (D F G 048 33 1739 1881 Ï latt), read θεός (qeos, “God”) in place of κύριος (kurios, “Lord”) here. However, κύριος is found in many of the most important mss (Ì46 א A B C P Ψ pc co), and θεός looks to be an assimilation to θεός in v. 3.
