Romans 2:3

Thinkest thou? Do you suppose, because of your greater knowledge of the truth, or because of your connection with a godly ancestry or with the chosen people, that you will be exempt from judgment? This delusive hope of personal exemption from the judgment is a common form of self-deception. It stands in contrast with the truth of God’s impartial judgment of all sinners. Yet it seems to have been a popular opinion among the Jews that so long as they observed the rites and ceremonies of their religion, God would not judge them as severely as He would the abandoned and idolatrous Gentiles. They felt that their nationality ensured them special consideration in the judgment. This false notion was rebuked by John the Baptist. “Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father” (Matt. 3:8, 9; cf. John 8:33; Gal. 2:15). Sin is sin wherever and by whomever it is committed. Nor does it become less sinful by being committed in the midst of religious privileges. The people of God have no special license to sin, as though God would not be so strict in noticing the offenses of those who profess to serve Him. On the contrary, the Bible consistently teaches that the most serious sins among men are those that are committed by the professed people of God (see Isa. 1:11-17; 65:2-5; Matt. 21:31, 32).

Thou shall escape. The pronoun is emphatic in the Greek.
