The Morally Upright Part 4

Proverbs 30:12: says, “There is a kind [of man] who is pure in his own eyes, yet is not washed from his filthiness.”

I can think of no more accurate description of the people portrayed in our passage , the morally upright condemned. Paul is discussing God’s wrath as it relates to the morally upright/the Jew/those who were “pure in their own eyes.” Thus far we have seen an analysis of how a morally upright person could be the recipient of God’s wrath because of their pride and hypocrisy. The morally upright are quick to condemn the nations, and yet slow to apply the Biblical standard of judgment to themselves!
