ROMANS: NO RESPECT OF PERSONS

(Romans 2:11 KJV) For there is no respect of persons with God.

(Romans 2:12 KJV) For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

Israel was given the law, but was not given privilege; they would be held accountable for not keeping the law.

The Gentiles would still be judged without the law; the law was written in their hearts according to Romans 2:15.

(Romans 2:13 KJV) (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

Israel had to keep the commandments to enter into the kingdom on earth (Matthew 19:17).

(Romans 2:24 KJV) For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

It was written below in Ezekiel:

(Ezekiel 36:22 KJV) Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

It was also seen below in 2 Samuel:

(2 Samuel 12:14 KJV) Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also [that is] born unto thee shall surely die.

(Romans 2:28 KJV) For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

(Romans 2:29 KJV) But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

A true Jew is not just born as a Jew, but is a Jew in the spirit, by faith.
