Rom. 2:1 in context

Rom. 1:32      Rom. 2:2

Romans 2:1

[The previous paragraph mainly concerned pagans without God's teaching, see Rom. 1:18–32, while the next paragraph is addressed to Jews, see verse 17. In this section, between these two paragraphs, the focus gradually shifts from pagans to Jews. Paul writes to those who criticize others but act the same way themselves. This was probably aimed primarily at hypocritical Jews, but applies to anyone who acts in this way.]
Therefore are you [singular; Greek or Jew] without excuse (defense) when you judge others, no matter who you are. For in judging others, you judge yourself, since you habitually do the same things they do.
[If you judge others, you show that you know the difference between what is morally right and wrong, and you are without excuse before God for your own faults. The Jews who read this letter were well acquainted with the story of how Nathan confronts David's sin in 2 Sam. 12:1–14. When Nathan told the parable of the rich man who took another man's only lamb, David was upset and judged rightly, but failed to see that he had acted even worse himself. This is what Jesus calls hypocrisy. Seeing the speck in your brother's eye, but not the log in your own, see Matt. 7:1–5.
The Greek word for judging is krino. It can be used negatively to condemn someone without knowing all the facts, but also in a positive sense to assess and decide what is right or wrong. One such example is in Acts 20:6 where Paul decides which route to take.
Paul makes it clear in 1 Cor. 5:12–13 that it is not our place to judge those who are not part of the church – they need to hear the gospel! On the other hand, we are encouraged to judge and examine: ourselves, see 1 Cor. 11:31, the fruit of false prophets, see Matt. 7:15–23, what is preached, see Rom. 16:17–18, prophetic words, see 1 Thessalonians 5:19–22, the qualifications of a church leader, see 1 Tim. 3:1–7, a Christian who sins against you, see Matt. 18:15–20.]
