In looking at Romans 2:4 I was intrigued by the use of the adjective
XRHSTON, in second part of verse, as opposed to use of the noun XRHSTOTHTOS
in first part of the verse.
I think I can understand why the noun is used in the first part of 2:4.
However, is there a grammatical reason it couldn't also have been used
later, and that the adjective needed to be used? It also seems unusual that
in English we translate it as a noun (goodness) instead of an adjective
(good), although I can see the awkwardness of translating as 'the good of
God'.
Any clarifications on this for me?
Thanks!
