Roma 2:16

2:16 on the day when God will judge ¹  the secrets of human hearts, ²  according to my gospel ³  through Christ Jesus.

Roma 2:2

2:2 Now we know that God’s judgment is in accordance with truth ⁴  against those who practice such things.

1 Timotius 2:8

2:8 So I want the men ⁵  to pray ⁶  in every place, lifting up holy hands ⁷  without anger or dispute.

[2:16]  ¹ tn The form of the Greek word is either present or future, but it is best to translate in future because of the context of future judgment.

[2:16]  ² tn Grk “of people.”

[2:16]  ³ sn On my gospel cf. Rom 16:25; 2 Tim 2:8.

[2:2]  ⁴ tn Or “based on truth.”

[2:8]  ⁵ tn The word translated “men” here (ἀνήρ, anhr) refers to adult males, not people in general. Note the command given to “the women” in v. 9.

[2:8]  ⁶ sn To pray. In this verse Paul resumes and concludes the section about prayer begun in 2:1-2. 1 Tim 2:3-7 described God’s concern for all people as the motive for such prayer.

[2:8]  ⁷ sn Paul uses a common ancient posture in prayer (lifting up holy hands) as a figure of speech for offering requests from a holy life (without anger or dispute).
