Discovery BoxRomans 2:5 
Context2:5 But because of your stubbornness 1 and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed! 2
Romans 2:29
Context2:29 but someone is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart 3 by the Spirit 4 and not by the written code. 5 This person’s 6 praise is not from people but from God.
1 tn Grk “hardness.” Concerning this imagery, see Jer 4:4; Ezek 3:7; 1 En. 16:3.
2 tn Grk “in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”
3 sn On circumcision is of the heart see Lev 26:41; Deut 10:16; Jer 4:4; Ezek 44:9.
4 tn Some have taken the phrase ἐν πνεύματι (en pneumati, “by/in [the] S/spirit”) not as a reference to the Holy Spirit, but referring to circumcision as “spiritual and not literal” (RSV).
5 tn Grk “letter.”
6 tn Grk “whose.” The relative pronoun has been replaced by the phrase “this person’s” and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started in the translation.
