Passage

Romans 2

• Glossary Term

  Sin

  Secularization risk: colloquial German uses 'Sünde' loosely for minor indulgence (a 'Sünde' on a diet, eating cake), risking trivialization of Romans' weightier sense of culpable rebellion against God.

  ROM.2.6-11

• Doctrine

  Universal Human Accountability

  Universal guilt before God; watch for colloquial trivialization of 'Sünde' softening the force of 'all have sinned'.
