Romans 2 addresses the hypocrisy of the Jews who condemn the Gentiles for their sins, while they themselves make the same mistakes. Paul argues that all are guilty before God and that God's righteousness makes no distinction between Jews and Gentiles. It also emphasizes the need for an inner change, not just following the law externally. Based on these themes, the five related verses are:
