Therefore (
note :)
He convicts those who would seem to be exempt from the rest of men (
because they reprehend other men '
s faults ),
and says that they are least of all to be excused ,
for if they were searched well and carefully (
as God surely does )
they themselves would be found guilty in those things which they reprehend and punish in others :
so that in condemning others ,
they pronounce sentence against themselves .(:
note )

O man ,
whosoever thou art that judgest :
for wherein thou judgest another ,
thou condemnest thyself ;
for thou that judgest doest the same things .

for he reasons generally against all men :
but he brings reasons such that every man is persuaded by them in his mind ,
so that the devil himself is not able to completely pluck them out .(:

are sure that the judgment of God is according to Considering and judging things correctly ,
and not by any outward show .
truth against them which commit such things .
*

O thou man ,
that condemnest them which doe such thinges ,
and doest the same ,

Glory which follows good works ,
which he does not lay out before us as though there were any that could attain to salvation by his own strength ,
but ,
he lays this condition of salvation before us ,
which no man can perform ,
to bring men to Christ ,
who alone justifies the believers ,
as he himself concludes ;
see (
Rom_2
:21-22 ).(:

glory and honour and immortality ,
eternal life :

Tribulation and anguish shalbe vpon the soule of euery man that doeth euill :
of the Iewe first ,

But to euery man that doeth good ,
