Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:32

‘Who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they who practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with those who practise them.’ Paul then draws out that man’s sinfulness has indeed reached such a state that men not only do such things but also consent to them as a general practise. They are not only pulled down by sin, but they also in their minds consent to it. They even encourage others in similar sins. They live in a world of sin and treat it as commonplace.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:18-32

Romans 1:18-Jonah : . Mankind is in a ruinous plight: God’ s Anger, which is His righteousness reacting against wrong, rests upon the race. Romans 1:18 a . “ The Divine wrath is being revealed from heaven” in action “ against all impiety and unrighteousness of men.” The revelation is apparent in the moral outcome of irreligion described in Romans 1:21-Jonah :— an apocalypse more appalling than earthquake or famine. Romans 1:18 b – Romans 1:20 . Man is responsible for his perdition: “... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 1:32

Knowing the judgment of God; i.e. his just law and statute, or his justice in punishing sin and sinners. This the Gentiles knew by the light of nature, and by the examples of God’s justice in the world. That they which commit such things are worthy of death; the barbarians of Melita judged murder worthy of death, Acts 28:4; see Acts 23:29; Acts 26:31. The heathen also had some knowledge of future and everlasting punishment, as appears by their writings: and were persuaded that the sins be... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 1:22-32

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 1:22-23.—Here begins a dark picture of heathenism, but fully verified from the writings of what has been called the most brilliant age of the most intellectual nations of the world. St. Paul traces man’s downward progress. Evolution, but in the wrong direction. According to the Jewish rabbis, one sin made to follow as the punishment of another. τὴν δόξαν, spoken of God, refers to the divine majesty and glory.Romans 1:25. Who is blessed for ever.—These doxologies common in... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 1:18-32

Romans 1:18-32 The Natural History of Paganism. I. St. Paul's first proposition is, that from the first the heathen knew enough of God from His works to render them without excuse for not worshipping Him. II. Secondly, the Apostle declares that the heathen have culpably repressed and hindered from its just influence the truth which they did know respecting God. He traces polytheistic and idolatrous worship to its root. (1) Its first origin he finds in a refusal to walk honestly by such light as... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 1:1-32

This time let us turn in our Bibles to Romans, chapter 1. Paul opens his epistle to the Romans declaring:Paul, a bond slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God ( Romans 1:1 ).Twenty-five years before Paul wrote this epistle to the Romans he was on the road to Damascus to imprison the Christians there. When suddenly about noon there came a light brighter than the mid-day sun and there the Lord said, "Saul, Saul why persecute thou me?" And he answered and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 1:1-32

Romans 1:1 . Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, in the sense he himself illustrates to the Corinthians. Ye are not your own; ye are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. Called to be an apostle, and endowed with heavenly gifts in a special manner, when the Lord himself appeared to him, as stated on Acts 9:15; Acts 22:14. This call, being purely divine, made him a debtor to all men, and gave him a title to address... read more

Romans 1:26-32For this cause God gave them up to vile affections. Human depravityI. The cause of all this gross ignorance and corruption is assigned in Romans 1:28. “They did not like to retain God in their knowledge.”1. The expression plainly assumes God’s having been known, and that the cause of corruption and loss of the original knowledge was entirely of a moral nature. This will appear--(1) From the word itself--“they did not like.” Inability: whether arising from the want of evidence, or... read more

Romans 1:32Who knowing the Judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. The displeasure of God with all who are pleased with sinI. Sinners do things which they know are displeasing to God. The heathen do things which God has forbidden by the law of nature; the Jews those which are forbidden by the God of revelation: both, therefore, do things which they know must be displeasing to Him. And this is true of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Romans 1:32

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Ver. 32. Have pleasure ] Or they patronize, applaud, and approve, συνευδοκουσι this is set last, as worst of all; it comprehends all kinds of consent. (Theop.) To hold the bag is as bad as to fill it. The law of God requires not only our observation but our preservation, to cause others to keep it, as well as ourselves; and to rebuke, at... read more
