For the wrath of God is revealed; the word "for" connects this verse immediately with the preceding, as much as to say, There is need of such a righteousness as the gospel reveals, for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, etc. He then proceeds to show, in the remainder of the chapter, how the Gentiles lie under this wrath; and in the following, how it rests on the Jews also; so that all men need to receive from God a righteousness which is not of law, but of faith.

Ungodliness and unrighteousness; sins against God and men.

Hold the truth in unrighteousness; prevent, by their wickedness, its proper effect.
