What Does Romans 2:10 Mean?
Mirroring the verse before, Paul now states the brighter half. To every man that worketh good come glory, honour, and peace, and again the reach is universal, the Jew first and also the Gentile.
The same impartial measure that warns also blesses. God's favor is not the property of one people but is held out to all who do good, whoever they are. This is the wideness of the gospel Paul preaches: the door of glory and peace stands open to every nation. What counts before God is not the accident of birth but a life turned toward the good.
