SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:3

¿Y piensas esto, oh hombre, que juzgas a los que hacen tales cosas, y haces las mismas , que t� escapar�s del juicio de Dios?

---

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 3. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same , etc..] Some men may be so vain as to imagine, that though they do the same things which they condemn in others, they shall escape the judgment of God : but such will find themselves most sadly mistaken; there is no avoiding the general judgment; all men must come to it; there will be no eluding it through craftiness and deceit, through bribery and corruption; there will be no escaping condign punishment, through might in the criminal, or through the judge's ignorance of his crimes, or want of ability and power to punish.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-16 - The Jews thought themselves a holy people, entitled to their privilege by right, while they were unthankful, rebellious, and unrighteous. But all who act thus, of every nation, age, and description, must be reminded that the judgment of God will be according to their rea character. The case is so plain, that we may appeal to the sinner's ow thoughts. In every wilful sin, there is contempt of the goodness of God. And though the branches of man's disobedience are very various all spring from the same root. But in true repentance, there must be hatred of former sinfulness, from a change wrought in the state of the mind, which disposes it to choose the good and to refuse the evil. I shows also a sense of inward wretchedness. Such is the great chang wrought in repentance, it is conversion, and is needed by every huma being. The ruin of sinners is their walking after a hard and impeniten heart. Their sinful doings are expressed by the strong words "treasuring up wrath." In the description of the just man, notice the full demand of the law. It demands that the motives shall be pure, an rejects all actions from earthly ambition or ends. In the descriptio of the unrighteous, contention is held forth as the principle of all evil. The human will is in a state of enmity against God. Eve Gentiles, who had not the written law, had that within, which directe them what to do by the light of nature. Conscience is a witness, an first or last will bear witness. As they nature. Conscience is witness, and first or last will bear witness. As they kept or brok these natural laws and dictates, their consciences either acquitted or condemned them. Nothing speaks more terror to sinners, and more comfor to saints, than that Christ shall be the Judge. Secret services shal be rewarded, secret sins shall be then punished, and brought to light.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

2:3 {And doest the same} (kai poiwn auta). "And doest them occasionally." {That thou shalt escape} (su ekfeuxei). Emphasis on su, "thou conceited Jew expecting to escape God's krima because thou art a Jew." Cf. #Mt 3:8f. Paul justifies the bitter words of the Baptist to the Pharisees and Sadducees. The future middle of the old verb ekfeugw (cf. #1Th 5:3). The Jew posed as immune to the ordinary laws of ethics because a Jew. Alas, some Christians affect the same immunity.
