After Paul thoroughly explains how sinful and without hope Gentiles are in chapter one, he turns his attention to Jews in chapter two. Here in verse one he basically puts Jews in the same boat with Gentiles. Old Covenant Jews had the law as a covenant contract to obey and receive the blessings that were promised for this obedience. They failed miserably and Paul points this out emphatically at the beginning of chapter two.

Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse,
you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another,
you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
