Sinopse

-Having mentioned the righteous judgment of God in Romans 2-5- he -Paul- here illustrates that judgment, and the righteousness of it, and shows what we may expect from God, and by what rule he will judge the world. The equity of distributive justice is the dispensing of frowns and favours with respect to what is deserved and without respect to persons- such is the righteous judgment of God.- These words, written by Matthew Henry capture the sense of the next several verses in which Paul speaks of the relationship between a holy God and those who do and those do not receive the final sentence upon the brink of eternity. Do not seek to reject the reality that God is judge, and so seek to escape eternity by accusing him of injustice for matters internal or external for there is no impartiality with God.
