Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Romans 2:17-24.


Romans 2:22

_ _ thou that abhorrest idols — as the Jews did ever after their captivity, though bent on them before.

_ _ dost thou commit sacrilege? — not, as some excellent interpreters, “dost thou rob idol temples?” but more generally, as we take it, “dost thou profane holy things?” (as in Matthew 21:12, Matthew 21:13, and in other ways).
