Romans 2:1-16
2:1–2 TLV
Therefore you are without excuse, O man—every one of you who
is judging. For by whatever you judge another, you condemn
yourself. For you who judge practice the same things. We know
that God’s judgment on those who practice such things is based on
truth.
2:3-4 TLV
But you, O man—judging those practicing such things yet doing
the same—do you suppose that you will escape the judgment of
God? Or do you belittle the riches of His kindness and tolerance
and patience—not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to
repentance?
2:5-6 TLV
But by your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath
for yourself on the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is
revealed. He will pay back each person according to his deeds.
2:7-8 TLV
To those who by perseverance in doing good are seeking glory,
honor, and immortality—eternal life. But to those who are self-
seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—
wrath and fury.
D
2:9-11 TLV
There will be trouble and hardship for every human soul that does
evil—to the Jew
fi
rst and also to the Greek. But there will be glory,
honor, and shalom to everyone who does good—to the Jew
fi
rst and
also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.
D
2:12-13 TLV
For all who have sinned outside of the law will also perish outside
of law, and all who have sinned according to law will be judged by
the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before
God; rather, it is the doers of the law who will be justi
fi
ed.
D
2:14-16 TLV
For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the
things of the law, they are a law to themselves even though they do
not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written in
their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts
switching between accusing or defending them on the day when
God judges the secrets of men according to my Good News
through Messiah Yeshua.

God’s judgment on those who practice such things is based on truth. But you, O man
—judging those practicing such things yet doing the same—do you suppose that you
will escape the judgment of God?
(Rom 2:2–3 TLV)

But by your…unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of

Big Giant Questions
Big Giant Questions
1. Can people be saved by doing the law?
2. Are we all really that bad?
3. What about those who haven’t heard?
86
1. Can people be saved by obeying the law?
“Do deeds derive divine reward?”
Romans 2:6, TLV He will pay back each person according to his deeds
Romans 2:7, TLV To those who…[do] good…immortality — eternal life.
Romans 2:10, TLV There will be glory, honor, and shalom to everyone who does good
Do deeds derive divine reward?
a. Yeshua is PLAN A, Good deeds are PLAN B
b. Yeshua is for the Gentiles, Torah (deeds) is for the Jews
Do deeds derive divine reward?
a. Yeshua is PLAN A, Good deeds are PLAN B
Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father
except through Me. (John 14:6, TLV)
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to
mankind by which we must be saved! (Acts 4:12 TLV)
92
There is no “Plan B"
93
Do deeds derive divine reward?
a. Yeshua is PLAN A, Good deeds are PLAN B
b. Yeshua is for the Gentiles, Torah (deeds) is for the Jews
Church was remorseful after WWII
Jews have their own covenant for salvation
Churches decided Jews have their way of salvation
• Mainline Liberal Protestant Churches
• Roman Catholic Church after Vatican II
97
Although Jews do not believe in Jesus Christ…they have a part in
salvation because the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.

John Hagee
Christians United for Israel
99
The Jewish people already have a faith structure. Everyone else,
whether Buddhist or Bahai need to believe in Jesus…but not the Jews.
John Hagee
Hagee, interviewed by Julia Duin, “San Antonio Fundamentalist Battles Anti-Semitism,” The Houston Chronicle, 30 April 1988: 1
But didn’t Paul say:
Doing deeds derive divine reward?
Dude! He’s not done!
Stop finishing Paul’s discourse.
Romans 2:6, TLV He will pay back each person according to his deeds
Romans 2:7, TLV To those who…[do] good…immortality — eternal life.
Romans 2:10, TLV There will be glory, honor, and shalom to everyone who does good
Romans 2:6, TLV He will pay back each person according to his deeds
Romans 2:7, TLV To those who…[do] good…immortality — eternal life.
Romans 2:10, TLV There will be glory, honor, and shalom to everyone who does good
Romans 3:10-12, TLV But we have already charged…[that] none is righteous…no one does good.
Romans 3:20, TLV By the works of the law, no human will be justi

Paul is using a hypothetical syllogism to make a logical argument
If p, then q If q, then r.
If p, then q. If q, then r.
But “p” aint happen’n
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-ancient/#WhoHypSyl
If p, then q. If q, then r.
But “p” aint happen’n so “q” aint happen’n!
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-ancient/#WhoHypSyl
If p, then q. If q, then r.
But P AINT HAPPEN’N so Q Aint Ever gonna happen!
If someone could be meet God’s standard, then they’d be righteous
If someone could be meet God’s standard, then they’d be righteous
But none of us ever meet God’s Standard, so no one is ever righteous
NO! You cannot earn God’s favor by doing good deeds.
There is no “plan B”
Yeshua came for the Jewish people too.
Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for Israel is for their
salvation….They have zeal for God—but not based on knowledge. For being ignorant
of God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit
themselves to the righteousness of God.
(Rom 10:1–3 TLV)

Romans 2.1-16

  • 2. 2:1–2 TLV Therefore you are without excuse, O man—every one of you who is judging. For by whatever you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things. We know that God’s judgment on those who practice such things is based on truth.
  • 3. 2:3-4 TLV But you, O man—judging those practicing such things yet doing the same—do you suppose that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you belittle the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience—not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?
  • 4. 2:5-6 TLV But by your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed. He will pay back each person according to his deeds.
  • 5. 2:7-8 TLV To those who by perseverance in doing good are seeking glory, honor, and immortality—eternal life. But to those who are self- seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness— wrath and fury.
  • 6. D 2:9-11 TLV There will be trouble and hardship for every human soul that does evil—to the Jew fi rst and also to the Greek. But there will be glory, honor, and shalom to everyone who does good—to the Jew fi rst and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.
  • 7. D 2:12-13 TLV For all who have sinned outside of the law will also perish outside of law, and all who have sinned according to law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God; rather, it is the doers of the law who will be justi fi ed.
  • 8. D 2:14-16 TLV For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things of the law, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts switching between accusing or defending them on the day when God judges the secrets of men according to my Good News through Messiah Yeshua.
