Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 2:16

_ _ In the day, etc. — Here the unfinished statement of Romans 2:12 is resumed and closed.

_ _ shall judge the secrets of men — here specially referring to the unfathomed depths of hypocrisy in the self-righteous whom the apostle had to deal with. (See Ecclesiastes 12:14; 1 Corinthians 4:5).

_ _ according to my gospel — to my teaching as a preacher of the Gospel.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 2:1-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 2:16

In the day — That is, who show this in the day. Everything will then be shown to be what it really is. In that day will appear the law written in their hearts as it often does in the present life. When God shall judge the secrets of men — On secret circumstances depends the real quality of actions, frequently unknown to the actors themselves, Romans 2:29. Men generally form their judgments, even of themselves merely from what is apparent. According to my gospel — According to the tenor of that gospel which is committed to my care. Hence it appears that the gospel also is a law.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 2:16

(7) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to (m) my gospel.

(7) God defers many judgments, which he will nonetheless execute at their convenient time by Jesus Christ, with a most candid examination, not only of words and deeds, but of thoughts also, be they ever so hidden or secret.

(m) As my doctrine witnesses, which I am appointed to preach.
