Rom. 2:1 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews

But dost thou hope, who judgest those who do evil, and doest the same, that thou thyself shalt escape the judgment of God"[534]

Rom. 2:2 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

The truth, therefore, will be His, whose is also the wrath, which has to be revealed to avenge the truth. Likewise, when adding, "We are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth,"[601]

Rom. 2:2 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

So that both the gospel and Christ must be His, to whom appertain the law and the nature which are to be vindicated by the gospel and Christ-even at that judgment of God which, as he previously said, was to be according to truth.[607]

Rom. 2:4 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians

Let us therefore be of a reverent spirit, and fear the long-suffering of God, lest we despise the riches of His goodness and forbearance.[85]

Rom. 2:4 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

e just judgment of God, which also the Apostle Paul testifies in his Epistle to the Romans, where he says, "But dost thou despise the riches of His goodness, and patience, and long-suffering, being ignorant that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou treasurest to thyself wrath against the day of wrath, and the revelation of the righteous judgment of God." "But glory and honour," he says, "to every one that doeth good."[598]

Rom. 2:4 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book III

while to those who are contentious, and believe not the truth, but who believe iniquity, anger, indignation, tribulation, and distress, on every soul of man that worketh evil, on the Jew first, and (afterwards) on the Greek; but glory, and honour, and peace to every one that doeth good, to the Jew first, and (afterwards) to the Greek."[47]

Rom. 2:4 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book III

the righteous judgment of God; who will render to every one according to his works: to those who, by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory and immortality, eternal life; while to those who are contentious, and believe not the truth, but who believe iniquity, anger, wrath, tribulation, and distress, on every soul of man that worketh evil; on the Jew first, and on the Greek: but glory, and honour, and peace to every one that worketh good; to the Jew first, and to the Greek."[60]

Rom. 2:4 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book III

Finally, the Apostle Paul, evidently treating of such, says to him who remained in his sins: "Despisest thou the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? but, after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up unto thyself wrath on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God."[106]

Rom. 2:4 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book III

Paul accordingly, having examined these points clearly, says to the sinner: "Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? but, after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God."[111]

Rom. 2:4 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise IX On the Advantage of Patience

Which, moreover, the blessed apostle referring to, and recalling the sinner to repentance, sets forward, and says: "Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the patience and goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart thou treasurest up unto thyself wrath in the day of wrath and of revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who shall render to every one according to his works."[12]

Rom. 2:4 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews

Also Paul to the Romans: "Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou treasurest up to thyself wrath in the day of wrath and of revelation of the just judgment of God, who will render to every man according to his deeds."[586]

Rom. 2:4 - NIV, NAB - in The Apocalypse of Sedrach

And there are some who have been baptized with my baptism and who have shared in my divine part and become reprobate in complete reprobation and will not repent: and I suffer them with much compassion and much pity and wealth[14]

Rom. 2:5 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

Those, on the other hand, who depart from Him, and despise His precepts, and by their deeds bring dishonour on Him who made them, and by their opinions blaspheme Him who nourishes them, heap up against themselves most righteous judgment.[541]

Rom. 2:5 - NIV, NAB - in Shepherd of Hermas Similitude Sixth

For luxury and deceit have no memories, on account of the folly with which they are clothed; but when punishment and torture cleave to a man for one day, he is punished and tortured for a year; for punishment and torture have powerful memories. While tortured and punished, therefore, for a whole year, he remembers at last[15]

Rom. 2:6 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to the Magnesians

He also died, and rose again, and ascended into the heavens to Him that sent Him, and is sat down at His right hand, and shall come at the end of the world, with His Father's glory, to judge the living and the dead, and to render to every one according to his works.[78]

Rom. 2:6 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book IV

For it is said, "Behold the Lord, and His reward is before His face, to give to every one according to his works; what eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and hath not entered into the heart of man what God hath prepared for them that love Him."[206]

Rom. 2:6 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian An Answer to the Jews

with the two Testaments of the ancient law and the new law; sharpened by the equity of its own wisdom; rendering to each one according to his own action.[155]

Rom. 2:7 - NIV, NAB - in Theophilus to Autolycus Book I

For He who gave the mouth for speech, and formed the ear to hear, and made the eye to see, will examine all things, and will judge righteous judgment, rendering merited awards to each. To those who by patient continuance in well-doing[22]

Rom. 2:8 - NIV, NAB - in Theophilus to Autolycus Book I

But to the unbelieving and despisers, who obey not the truth, but are obedient to unrighteousness, when they shall have been filled with adulteries and fornications, and filthiness, and covetousness, and unlawful idolatries, there shall be anger and wrath, tribulation and anguish,[24]

Rom. 2:11 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book I

or this : "Is there respect of persons with God? "[123]

Rom. 2:11 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book I

It is sufficient only to know this much, in order to demonstrate the impartiality and righteousness of God, that, conformably with the declaration of the Apostle Paul, "there is no acceptance of persons with Him,"[132]

Rom. 2:11 - NIV, NAB - in A Treatise Against the Heretic Novatian by an Anonymous Bishop

Let us have in contemplation especially the day of judgment and retribution, and what must be believed by all of us, and firmly maintained, that "there is no acceptance of persons with God; "[64]

Rom. 2:11 - NIV, NAB - in Peter of Alexandria Canonical Epistle

knowing, says he, that our and their Master is in heaven; and that there is no respect of persons with Him.[19]

Rom. 2:11 - NIV, NAB - in Acts of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul

For there is no respect of persons with God.[10]

Rom. 2:12 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

1. As I have heard from a certain presbyter,[377]

Rom. 2:12 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

If, then, God will judge the secrets of men-both of those who have sinned in the law, and of those who have sinned without law (inasmuch as they who know not the law yet do by nature the things contained in the law)[604]

Rom. 2:12 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews

Paul to the Romans: "As many as have sinned without law, shall perish without law; and as many as have sinned in the law, shall be judged also by the law."[778]

Rom. 2:12 - NIV, NAB - in Acts of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul

As many as have sinned in law shall be judged according to law, and as many as have sinned without law shall perish without law.[11]

Rom. 2:12 - NIV, NAB - in Revelation of Saint John the Theologian

And again the Apostle Paul said: As many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in law shall be judged by means of law.[42]

Rom. 2:13 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Exhortation to Chastity

nor is there exception of persons with God; since it is not hearers of the law who are justified by the Lord, but doers, according to what the apostle withal says.[39]

Rom. 2:13 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews

Also to the Romans: "Not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."[772]

Rom. 2:13 - NIV, NAB - in Dionysius Extant Fragments Part I

. maker) of the law."[120]

Rom. 2:14 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book III

They had no instructor[19]

Rom. 2:14 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book I

"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves; uncircumcision observing the precepts of the law,"[223]

Rom. 2:14 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book II

"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things of the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves,"[102]

Rom. 2:14 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian De Corona

-as when to the Romans, affirming that the heathen do by nature those things which the law requires,[21]

Rom. 2:14 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

For when a man "who has not the law does naturally the things contained in the law, he, not having the law, is a law unto himself."[249]

Rom. 2:14 - NIV, NAB - in Lactantius Divine Institutes Book VI

" Who that is acquainted with the mystery of God could so significantly relate the law of God, as a man far removed from the knowledge of the truth has set forth that law? But I consider that they who speak true things unconsciously are to be so regarded as though they prophesied[64]

Rom. 2:15 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book II

And this, I think, was the opinion of the Apostle Paul himself, when he said, "Their thoughts mutually accusing or excusing them in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel."[178]

Rom. 2:15 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

who are enrolled among the righteous, derive their righteousness when as yet there was no law of Moses, and when as vet the prophets had not arisen and discharged the functions of prophecy? Were they not constituted righteous in virtue of their fulfilling the law, "every one of them showing the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing them witness? "[248]

Rom. 2:15 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XI

"all the thoughts of men meanwhile accusing or else excusing them,"[146]

Rom. 2:16 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

) Christ."[606]

Rom. 2:16 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book I

" It is possible to quote one of Paul's sayings in support of the contention that the whole of the New Testament is Gospel. He writes in a certain place:[30]

Rom. 2:16 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book I

"The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Then also it is the Gospel of the Apostles; whence Paul[68]

Rom. 2:16 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book V

I will add to the proof of this an apostolic saying which has been quite misunderstood by the disciples of Marcion, who, therefore, set the Gospels at naught. The Apostle says:[25]

Rom. 2:17 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book I

ction of the law, the apostle showed in the passage relating to the Jews, writing thus: "Behold, thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God, and knowest the will of God, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law, and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who hast the form of knowledge and of truth in the law."[325]

Rom. 2:21 - NIV, NAB - in Shepherd of Hermas Vision Third

How will you instruct the elect of the Lord, if you yourselves have not instruction? Instruct each other therefore, and be at peace among yourselves, that[41]

Rom. 2:21 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

Hence his invective against the transgressors of the law, who teach that men should not steal, and yet practise theft themselves.[610]

Rom. 2:23 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VIII

But that the honour which we pay to the Son of God, as well as that which we render to God the Father, consists of an upright course of life, is plainly taught us by the passage, "Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? "[18]

Rom. 2:24 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III

Nomen enim Dei blasphematur propter ipsos."[221]

Rom. 2:24 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Idolatry

blasphemy it has been said, "By your means My Name is blasphemed,"[101]

Rom. 2:24 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian An Answer to the Jews

until the advent of Christ: thereafter it ceased curatively to remove from Israel infirmities of health; since, as the result of their perseverance in their frenzy, the name of the Lord was through them blasphemed, as it is written: "On your account the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles: "[313]

Rom. 2:24 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

that the apostle abstained through fear from openly calumniating God, from whom notwithstanding He did not hesitate to withdraw men? Well, but he had gone so far in his censure of the Jews, as to point against them the denunciation of the prophet, "Through you the name of God is blasphemed (among the Gentiles)."[615]

Rom. 2:24 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle VI

For as the Jews were alienated from God, as those on whose account "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles,"[5]

Rom. 2:25 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII

To illustrate: the noble apostle circumcised Timothy, though loudly declaring and writing that circumcision made with hands profits nothing.[80]

Rom. 2:25 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XI

As, then, when the Jew sins his circumcision shall be reckoned for uncircumcision, but when one of the Gentiles acts uprightly his uncircumcision shall be reckoned for circumcision,[100]

Rom. 2:27 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

1. And that the Lord did not abrogate the natural [precepts] of the law, by which man[151]

Rom. 2:28 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

the flesh; and "the Jew which is one inwardly" will be a subject of the self-same God as he also is who is "a Jew outwardly; "[620]

Rom. 2:28 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh

On exactly the same principle, they consider the special soil of Judµa to be that very holy land, which ought rather to be interpreted of the Lord's flesh, which, in all those who put on Christ, is thenceforward the holy land; holy indeed by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, truly flowing with milk and honey by the sweetness of His assurance, truly Judµan by reason of the friendship of God. For "he is not a Jew which is one outwardly, but he who is one inwardly."[188]

Rom. 2:28 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian To His Wife Book I

of God introducing the spiritual circumcision.[20]

Rom. 2:28 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

when he also said that "he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh,"[434]

Rom. 2:28 - NIV, NAB - in Recognitions of Clement V

For in God's estimation he is not a Jew who is called a Jew among men (nor is he a Gentile that is called a Gentile), but he who, believing in God, fulfils His law and does His will, though he be not circumcised.[20]

Rom. 2:29 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII

For he possesses in its sincerity the faith which is exercised in reference to the affairs of life, and praises the Gospel in practice and contemplation. And, in truth, he wins his praise "not from men, but from God,"[119]

Rom. 2:29 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

Now it is quite within the purpose of the God of the law that circumcision should be that of the heart, not in the flesh; in the spirit, and not in the letter.[616]

Rom. 2:29 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VII

God may therefore have commanded men to destroy all their vices utterly, even at their birth, without having enjoined anything contrary to the teaching of Christ; and He may Himself have destroyed before the eyes of those who were "Jews inwardly"[39]

Rom. 2:29 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

in which former there is praise, not of men, but of God.[490]

Rom. 2:29 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book I

In the same manner, it appears to me that the whole people of Christ, when we regard it in the aspect of the hidden man of the heart,[1]

Rom. 2:29 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book I

This High-Priest is called, from some other notion of him than those we have noticed, Judas, that those who are Jews secretly[181]
