Romans:2:13
rwp@Romans:2:13 @{Not the hearers--but the doers} (\ou gar hoi akroatai--all' hoi poitai\). The law was read in the synagogue, but there was no actual virtue in listening. The virtue is in doing. See a like contrast by James between "hearers" and "doers" of the gospel (James:1:22-25|). {Before God} (\para ti thei\). By God's side, as God looks at it. {Shall be justified} (\dikaithsontai\). Future passive indicative of \dikaio\, to declare righteous, to set right. "Shall be declared righteous." Like strkjv@James:1:22-25|.
