Romans 1:31 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:31

Without understanding
Of God, of his nature and worship, of things divine and even moral, being given up to a reprobate mind:

covenant breakers;
had no regard to private or public contracts:

without natural affection;
to their parents, children, relations and friends:

implacable;
when once offended there was no reconciling of them:

unmerciful;
had no pity and compassion to persons in distress.

Romans 1:31 In-Context

29 Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.

30 They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,

31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.

32 In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
