To speak; proclaim the gospel.

To fill up their sins; unwilling to believe themselves, or to have the Gentiles believe, they filled up the cup of their iniquities and of God's vengeance.

The wrath is come; the wrath of God. It was already at their door, ready to fall upon them and consume them to the uttermost. This epistle was written but a few years before the awful overthrow of Jerusalem and the Jewish nations by the Romans. Men are naturally so wicked, that, if left to themselves, they will not only reject the Saviour, but oppose the preaching of him to others. This is exceedingly offensive to God, and exposes all who are guilty of it to his wrath.
