Romans 1:18
For. Now follows a declaration of the world's unrighteousness, of
the wrath of God against unrighteousness, and hence the need of the
righteousness of God through the gospel received by faith in order to
salvation. The "for" introduces an argument which shows that Christ's
gospel is the world's only hope.
The wrath of God. His displeasure.
Is revealed. Not only by the declarations of the Holy Scriptures,
and his judgments, but by nature's teachings, and by the human
conscience.
Ungodliness. Irreligiousness. This is the fountain of
unrighteousness.
Hold the truth in unrighteousness. There is a measure of truth
revealed to every man. See Romans 1:19. Many refuse to profit by the
light they have, and love the darkness rather than the light. All who
do not live up to the knowledge they possess, who do worse than they
know, hold the truth in unrighteousness. They obstruct the truth,
rather than let it have free scope.
