Romans Chapter 2 Vs. 27

God's Judgment and the Law

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? Rom 2:27

if it fulfil... If a Gentile who is not circumcised keeps the law and you do not, are you not condemned as a sinner by him, even though you are circumcised?

Paul concluded that a Gentile who obeys (“fulfills”) the Law judges a Jew who, despite his having the written code and circumcision, is a lawbreaker. A Gentile who obeys what the Law requires, even though he does not know the Law (Rom. 2:14) is in God’s sight similar to a circumcised Jew. This thought would be revolutionary for Jews who considered themselves far superior to Gentiles (cf. Rom. 2:17-21). A Gentile’s humble obedience to the law should serve as a stern rebuke to a Jew who, in spite of his great advantage, lives in disobedience.

“To whom much is given, much is required”. These Gentiles were living better lives with less knowledge than the Jews. These Jews are not setting the good example for God that that they need to.

Galatians 6:15 “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.”
