Notes

Romans 1:27

received in themselves the due penalty for their error: When people turn away from the Creator’s purposes, God judges their actions. This judgment can happen in many ways, but the final result is spiritual death (see 1:32).

Romans 1:18–3:20

Paul waits to explain righteousness through faith (see 3:21) until he first teaches about the sinfulness of all people. Both non-Jews and Jews are equally under the power of sin (1:18–32; 2:1–3:8). Because of this, both groups are in the same situation before God. No one can gain God’s favor by their own actions or obedience (3:9–20). All people need God’s saving action, not their own efforts.
