This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 2:29. Οο͂, whose), who seeks praise and has it, not from men, etc.-ἔπαινος, praise) The allusion is to the name Jew [Judah], יודוך, they shall praise thee, Gen 49:8. He therefore adds, οὗ, not ἧς [περιτομῆς]. This is the solution: The Jew who is one inwardly, he is the Jew, who has praise; as much as to say, this is true Judaism. It is opposed to the judging [Rom 2:3].-οὐκ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, not of men), who, when they praise themselves, boast, Rom 2:17.-Θεοῦ, of God), who sees the heart.
