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 hanno fatta stima di riconoscere Iddio, così li ha Iddio abbandonati ad una mente reproba, da far le cose che non si convengono;

29 essendo ripieni d’ogni ingiustizia, di malvagità, di cupidigia, di malizia; pieni d’invidia, d’omicidio, di contesa, di frode, di malignità;

30 cavillatori, maldicenti, nemici di Dio, ingiuriosi, superbi, vanagloriosi, inventori di mali, disubbidienti a padri ed a madri;

31 insensati, senza fede ne’ patti, senza affezion naturale, implacabili, spietati.

32 I quali, avendo riconosciuto il diritto di Dio, che coloro che fanno cotali cose son degni di morte, non solo le fanno, ma ancora acconsentono a coloro che le commettono.
