In summary, the self-contained discourse that Paul utilized in Romans 1:18–32 was representative of the typical posture of Jews toward Gentiles. Paul argued that this sort of posture worked against the gospel, and he insisted that if the Jewish Christians in Rome resonated with the posture of the discourse, then they were the problem. They were just as guilty of suppressing God’s truth, via their judgmental beliefs, as they maintained the Gentiles were in their supposed unrighteous living.
