Romans 2:1-16 God's Impartial Judgment According to Deeds

Today, we journey further into Paul's exposition of the problem of man. He turns from all of humanity who turn from God--and thus God hands them over to their sin--to the hypocrite who judges them, presuming upon God's patience and kindness, so that they can continue in their sin unjustly. But God is not taken advantage of in this scenario, for he judges impartially according to works. Paul props up a hypothetical situation to illustrate this point. People who do good gain eternal life. People who do evil will suffer wrath. This begs the question: can one gain eternal life outside of Jesus? Does the Apostle Paul, servant of Jesus Christ, contradict himself by saying that God will give glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does good?
