Romani 1:30 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:30

Backbiters
Who more publicly defamed the characters of their neighbours, and hurt their good name, credit and reputation, though behind their backs:

haters of God;
some read it, "hated of God"; as all workers of iniquity are; but rather this expresses their sin, that they were deniers of the being and providence of God, and showed themselves to be enemies to him by their evil works:

despiteful;
both by opprobrious words, and injurious actions:

proud;
of their natural knowledge, learning, eloquence and vain philosophy:

boasters:
of their parts, abilities, wisdom and works; all which they attributed to themselves, and to the sharpness of their wit, their sagacity and industry:

inventors of evil things;
of evil schemes of morality and philosophy, and of evil practices, as well as principles:

disobedient to parents;
which was acting contrary to the light of nature.

Romani 1:30 In-Context

28 E siccome non si sono curati di ritenere la conoscenza di Dio, Iddio li ha abbandonati ad una mente reproba, perché facessero le cose che sono sconvenienti,
29 essendo essi ricolmi d’ogni ingiustizia, malvagità, cupidigia, malizia; pieni d’invidia, d’omicidio, di contesa, di frode, di malignità;
30 delatori, maldicenti, abominevoli a Dio, insolenti, superbi, vanagloriosi, inventori di mali, disubbidienti ai genitori,
31 insensati, senza fede nei patti, senza affezione naturale, spietati;
32 i quali, pur conoscendo che secondo il giudizio di Dio quelli che fanno codeste cose son degni di morte, non soltanto le fanno, ma anche approvano chi le commette.
