GOD’S wrath, thus revealed in human life through the consequences of man’s rejection of GOD, is also seen in the judgment of GOD upon man’s conduct—the only just judgment (1) because all men being implicated no man has the right to judge, and (4) a just judgment because GOD has offered man the opportunity of repentance and (5) judges wilful wrongdoing (6) by the main tendencies of a man’s life, (9) without favour to any privileged race, (12) in accordance with opportunities given even to Gentiles and (14) the use made of knowledge admittedly possessed even by Gentiles. This section is closely connected with the preceding by the διὸ and by the verbal and sense echoes (ἀναπολόγητος, πράσσεις).
