Hi GH - It's just the Greek word representing Christ's "judgment seat" in Romans 14:10 and 2Co 5:10.

I believe Paul is primarily addressing Gentiles in
Romans 11 (v 13) concerning God's reception of those who believe, and an admonition to the Gentiles concerning those who do not believe (v 21--"spare not thee"), which are one and the same admonition to unbelieving Jews, some of whom He has previously "broken off" and "cut off."
Hence, only unbelievers are in such a state, thus the "thee" in "spare thee not," cannot refer to any but the unbelievers.

Not true at all since in Romans 11 Paul says "you STAND by your faith" and Paul says that only failure to persevere in their current state would result in falling/failing/being cut-off.
That detail is not insignificant - it can apply ONLY to believers -- and so it does not allow for the point you would have just then.
in Christ,
Bob

No; He -- Christ -- is faithful; He -- Christ -- is The Faithful : He -- Christ -- IS "the Righteousness namely of GOD" : He -- Christ -- "THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS".
We, "are RECKONED just" : "in Christ", "by grace", "through faith".
We received, calm, and are confident in Christ, our assurance -- WHO IS the Righteousness of God. And we rejoice in full confidence in our Assurance -- Christ -- and glory in God in HIM, to the glory of His, Name.
"Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine ..." is sung commonly among all Christians (if I can remember). There has after all remained some unity amongst us all, it seems to me
