Good Morning Friends!
Romans 2:17 "Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God..."
Beginning in this verse, Paul applies the matter he had discussed in the preceding verses more closely to the Jews, and proves, that, despite all their claims and privileges, they were transgressors of the law, and so could not be justified by works, any more than the Gentiles.
"Behold" (ei) is most often translated "if".
It is translated "though" in Col 2:5.
It is a first-class condition, giving it the meaning, “if and it is true, and/or therefore assumed to be true, if as is the case, since”.
When the personal pronoun, “thou” (sú), is used in the Greek it is placed for emphasis and or clarity.
It is like pointing the finger at the person spoken of.
"Restest in" (epanapaúee) means they were depending on the having of the Law, alone, for justification and salvation, though it in reality could only condemn them.
That being said, the law did point out the need and the coming of the Savior in whom all the Law pointed to and would be fulfilled in.
John 1:45 “Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
"Makest thy boast" (kauchásai) means "glory, joy, rejoice, vaunt up yourself".
Though the Jews were and are a peculiar people to God, they had taken this to the extreme and believed they had an exclusive claim to His favor.
There is no evidence of piety for a man to boast of his knowledge of God, but rather, for one to have a humble, passionate thankfulness for the privileges and revelations God shares with us that leads us not to despise others, but to desire that they may have the same privilege.

Romans 2:16 "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."
"Day" (heeméra) means “age, time”.
"God" (Theós), when preceded in the Greek by the little word “the” (ho), which it is in the Greek transcript, gives this the meaning, “the Supreme Divinity, the Very God”.
"Shall judge" (krínei) Rom 2:16 “judgeth” James 4:11.
It has the meaning “shall condemn” in it.
"Secrets" (kruptá) means "concealed, hidden, inward, or private things".
"By" (diá) means “by means of.”
It is a preposition that introduces the ground or reason by which something is done.
"Jesus" (Ieesoú) means "Savior” and identifies the reason He came into the world.
The words of the angel of the Lord in Matthew 1:21 "For He shall save His people from their sins," define the name.
“Christ” (Christoú) means “the Anointed.”
The word "anointed" describes a ceremonial act that indicated that this man is set apart of God and approved by the ones anointing that this person is God's choice for king or priest, etc.
Christ was/is the Messiah (the One the Jews were living in anticipation of because of the promises God made them in the Old Testament) the Son of God, the King, the Lord.”
“Gospel” (euangélion) means "good news, glad tidings of salvation through Christ.”
It is good news for bad people.
Romans 1:1 “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel (euangélion) of God.”
Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel (euangélion) of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Romans 2:15 "Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)"
"Shew" (endeíknuntai) means "demonstrate, indicate, point out, prove, show forth".
“Work” (érgon) means “accomplishment, business, deed, employment, engagement, labor, ministry, occupation, toiling, undertaking to do.”
"Written" (graptón) means "inscribed".
“In” (en) tells us where this takes place.
“Hearts” (kardías) refers to “the soul or mind, as it is the fountain and seat of the thoughts, passions, desires, appetites, affections, purposes, endeavors.”
The word "heart" is used here to signify the very center of our being.
As it is the source of physical life so far as the body is concerned, it is used here to illustrate the center of our emotional life.
It is often used of those who are very much sincere.
"Also bearing witness" (summarturoúsees) means "corroborating with, jointly testifying".
"Thoughts" (logismoón) means "imaginations, reasoning".
"While accusing" (kateegoroúntoon) means "while charging, while objecting to".
Though we all have a built-in sense of right and wrong, we all have violated our own standards.
When we do, we justify it by various arguments resulting in or causing our conscience and our thoughts go back and forth, either condemning us or trying to defend us.
The conscience is not an infallible guide, but we should never go against our conscience.
Every culture has standards of right and wrong that often coincide with God’s Law.
And every person has a conscience that condemns him when he violates what he knows to be wrong.

Romans 2:14 "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:"
“For” (gár) means "and, as, because (that), but, even, indeed, no doubt, seeing, then, therefore, verily, what, why, yet".
It is a conjunction joining this statement with what has just been said.
It properly assigns a reason used in an argument, explanation or intensification.
"When" (hótan) means “as soon as, inasmuch as, whenever, while”.
“Gentiles” (éthnee) Matt 6:32; Rom 2:14; 15:9; Eph 2:11 “nations” Luke 24:47; Rev 19:15.
It comes from the word from which we get our word “ethnic”.
This word was used of those who did not know God and were probably idolaters.
This classified them as unbelievers.
Paul brings up the Gentiles to show his Jewish readers that having the Law and occasionally obeying it are not enough.
Even unsaved Gentiles have an inner sense of right and wrong.
Paul is not saying that the Gentiles instinctively know all of the stipulations of the Mosaic Law.
Rather, he is pointing out the obvious fact that even pagans, who have had no exposure to God’s revealed Law, have a built-in sense of right and wrong that coincides with God’s Law.
Paul is referring to the fact that almost all cultures believe that murder, stealing, r**e, assault, etc. are wrong.
Treating others as you want to be treated, obeying just laws, and loving your mate and your children are right.
Even pagans have this sense of right and wrong.
They all hold to a standard of behavior that they expect others to hold to also.
Paul says these “…are a law unto themselves".

Romans 2:13 "(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."
“For” (gár) means "and, because, but, indeed, seeing, then, therefore, verily, yet".
It is a conjunction joining this statement with what has just been said.
It properly assigns a reason used in an argument, explanation or intensification.
“…not the hearers of the law are just before God…”
"Hearers" (akroataí) means "mere listeners".
The “law” (nómou) had no saving power.
All the “law” could do was to determine the penalty of the law when it was broken.
"Just" (díkaioi) is translated “righteous” in Luke 1:6; Rom 5:19.
Luke 1:6 “And they were both righteous (díkaioi) before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.”
It is one justified in God's sight.
When God calls a man “just” it means he is saved.
Zacharius and Elizabeth were righteous because of their faith in God, and their walking in all the commandments and ordinances of God gave evidence of their faith,
There is only one kind of righteousness that stands up with God and that is imputed righteousness.
Romans 5:19 “For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.”
One who is "just" is only that way in God's eyes in that he has the imputed righteousness that is put to the account of the person who believes God.
Romans 4:5 “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”

Romans 2:12 "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law."
“Have sinned” (heémarton) Rom 2:12; 3:23; 5:12 “I have sinned” Luke 15:18.
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned (heémarton), and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (heémarton):"
Luke 15:18 “I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned (heémarton) against Heaven, and before thee,”
"Without law" (anómoos) is an adverb and means "lawlessly". In this case it means "not amenable to Jewish law".
“Shall perish” (apoloúntai) means "shall be fully destroyed, shall be lost, shall die".
“In” (en) is also translated in the KJV as "about, against, among, at, by, by the way of, over, through, to, under, unto, with, within”, telling us where this takes place.
“Law” (nómoo) is translated “by the law” in Romans 7:2.
"Shall be judged" (kritheésontai) means “shall be condemned, shall be judged, shall be punished, shall be sentenced, shall be tried”.
"By" (diá) it means “by means of, in, out of, through, with”.
It is “the channel of the act.”
"Law" (nómou) is translated "of the law" in Rom 10:4.
The “Law” had no saving power but could only determine the penalty of the law when it was broken.

Romans 2:12 "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law."
“For” (gár) means "and, as, because (that), but, even, indeed, no doubt, seeing, then, therefore, verily, what, why, yet".
It is a conjunction joining this statement with what has just been said.
It properly assigns a reason used in an argument, explanation or intensification.
"As many as" (hósoi) John 1:12; Rom 2:12 “as many as have” in Col 2:1 “who” in Heb 2:15.
John 1:12 “But as many as (hósoi) received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:”
Hebrews 2:15 “And deliver them who (hósoi) through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”
“Have sinned” (heémarton) Rom 2:12 in ts primary meaning means “have missed the mark, are without a share in, have erred, are mistaken; have missed or wandered from the path of uprightness and honor, have done or gone wrong.”
It is an Aorist Active Indicative-3P.
The aorist tense here is a point tense and refers to a point of time in the past.
It speaks of the occasion as a once for all action.
The active voice is where the subject does the acting.
It is an action one must take, therefore, volitional or a choice.
The indicative mood presents the action or the event as something real or certain, in other words as an objective fact.
