Exegesis
The dative clause en hō gar krineis ton heteron {ἐν ᾧ γὰρ κρίνεις τὸν ἕτερον | en hṓ gar krí-neis tón hé-te-ron} employs the prepositional-relative combination en hō to express the very sphere or standard “in which” judgment is made; gar provides an explanation for the charge of being without excuse.
The neuter plural ta gar auta prasseis {τὰ γὰρ αὐτὰ πράσσεις | tà gar au-tà prás-seis} underlines this hypocrisy: “for you practice the same things.”
In context — Romans 2:1
Therefore, you are without excuse, O man, every one who judges. For in that which you judge the other, you condemn yourself , for you, the one judging, practice the same things .
