Romans 1:18-32: The Rational Sinner -

This passage of Scripture discusses God’s anger at sin. It depicts why God legitimately censures humankind and some of what he has done with regards to it. Mankind's fall is imagined as a descending movement. It begins with dismissing God as the creator, declining to see the significant awareness of him by what he has made. Humans likewise rejected that he is the supplier and quit giving him the thanks that he is due. Humanity loves his creation rather than him. At long last, God acts by giving us over to the unchecked articulation of our degenerate sexual cravings and any remaining sorts of transgression. To some extent, he communicates his anger by giving us what we want and sentencing us to endure the excruciating fallouts.

Romans 2:1-16: The Reformed Sinner -

Romans 2:1-16 springs a snare, of sorts, for each peruser who felt that Paul's overwhelming rundown of sins toward the end of Romans chapter 1 was about others. In truth, everybody is at fault for wrongdoing. The individuals who judge others are blameworthy, additionally, of being hypocritical. No one will get away from God's judgment for individual sin, including the religious Jews and Gentiles. God will totally pass judgment on every individual as per what the person has done. Assuming somebody has lived a sinless life, only doing good, he will get rewards and everlasting life. If not, he merits anger and rage.

Here, ''Gentiles'' are the individuals who sin separated from the law, while ''Jews'' are the people who sin under the law. Paul shows how, in the two cases, God will pass judgment on individuals dependent on whether they kept the law and were circumcised in their souls. Indeed, even Gentiles who observe the law out of genuineness would be viewed by God as really Jewish. In the meantime, God will limit the Jewishness and circumcision of somebody under the law who violates the law and doesn't have a genuine heart. Paul will show in the accompanying part that, in truth, nobody can keep the law.
