In Romans 2:1, Paul declares that those who judge others condemn themselves — this sets up the question in verse 3 about escaping judgment, forming a direct argument.

Romans 2:5 directly explains the consequence: a hard heart stores up wrath — making explicit the judgment the hypocrite cannot escape.

In Romans 1:32, Paul describes those who know God's judgment yet persist — the very group Romans 2:3 warns will not escape. Strong contextual link.

Romans 1:18 establishes that God's wrath is against all ungodliness — the foundation for Paul's argument that no one, not even the judge, escapes.

In Psalm 50:21, God rebukes the wicked who thought He was like them — directly illustrating the false assumption that one can escape God's judgment.

In Matthew 23:33, Jesus similarly confronts religious hypocrites who think they can avoid divine judgment — directly parallels Paul's warning to the self-righteous judge.

Hebrews 12:25 warns that rejecting God's warning makes escape impossible — reinforcing Paul's point that hypocrites cannot avoid judgment.

Proverbs 11:21 assures the wicked will not go unpunished — reinforcing Paul's point that hypocrites will not escape judgment.

Proverbs 16:5 says the arrogant will not go unpunished — similar to Paul's warning that hypocrites cannot escape God's judgment.

1 Thessalonians 5:3 warns of sudden destruction when people feel secure — echoes the false confidence of those who think they will escape God's judgment.

Hebrews 2:3 asks a similar rhetorical question about escaping judgment, but for neglecting salvation — broadening the principle of accountability.
