Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 1:29

Being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practice them.There are... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 1:29

Romans 1:29. Wickedness— The original word signifies doing mischief: that rendered maliciousness denotes a malicious temper; and that rendered malignity, a custom of repeating their malice frequently. Unrighteousness or injustice stands first in this black catalogue, unmercifulness last. The whole enumeration contains nine particulars relating to the affections, two to conversation, three respecting God, themselves, and their neighbour; two to the transacting of outward affairs, and six to the... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 1:30

Romans 1:30. Haters of God— Discontented with his government, and disaffected to his rule, as a righteous and holy Being who could not but be highly displeased with their abominations. The original word 'Υβριστας, rendered despiteful, would be more properly rendered violent or overbearing in their behaviour to each other. It properly expresses the character of a man who is resolved to gratify his own appetites and passions, and to pursue what he apprehends his own interest, right or wrong;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 1:31

Romans 1:31. Without understanding— Without consideration, 'Ασυνετους . See on Romans 1:21.—Covenant-breakers: it is well known that the Romans, as a nation, from the very beginning of their commonwealth, never made any scruple of vacating altogether the most solemn engagement, if they did not like it; though made by their supreme magistrate, in the name of the whole people. Theyonly gave up the general who had made it, and then supposed themselves to be at full liberty. The custom of exposing... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 1:32

Romans 1:32. Who knowing the judgment of God, &c.— It seems here to be strongly implied, that to look with complacency on the vices of others is one of the last degrees of degeneracy. A man may be hurried by his passions to do the thing he hates; but he who has pleasure in those that do evil, loves wickedness for wickedness' sake. And hereby he encourages them in sin, and heaps the guilt of others upon his own. See the followingInferences, Locke, Mill, Erasmus, Doddridge, and Hallet's... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 1:30

30. haters of God—The word usually signifies "God-hated," which some here prefer, in the sense of "abhorred of the Lord"; expressing the detestableness of their character in His sight (compare Proverbs 22:14; Psalms 73:20). But the active sense of the word, adopted in our version and by the majority of expositors, though rarer, agrees perhaps better with the context. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 1:32

32. Who knowing—from the voice of conscience, Romans 2:14; Romans 2:15 the judgment of God—the stern law of divine procedure. that they which commit such things are worthy of death—here used in its widest known sense, as the uttermost of divine vengeance against sin: see Romans 2:15- :. not only do the same—which they might do under the pressure of temptation and in the heat of passion. but have pleasure in them that do them—deliberately set their seal to such actions by encouraging and... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 1:18-32

A. The need of all people 1:18-32Perhaps Paul began by showing all people’s need for God’s righteousness first because he was the apostle to the Gentiles and his Roman readers were primarily Gentiles. His argument in Romans 1:18 to Romans 3:20 moves inward through a series of concentric circles of humanity."God never condemns without just cause. Here three bases are stated for His judgment of the pagan world. For suppressing God’s truth (Romans 1:18) For ignoring God’s revelation (Romans... read more
