This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
After thy hardness (kata tēn sklērotēta sou). “According to thy hardness (old word from sklēros, hard, stiff, only here in N.T.) will God’s judgment be.”
And impenitent heart (kai ametanoēton kardian). See metanoian just before. “Thy unreconstructed heart,” “with no change in the attitude of thy heart.”
Treasurest up for thyself (thēsaurizeis seautōi). See for thēsaurizō on Mat 6:19.; Luk 12:21; 2Co 12:14. Dative case seautōi (for thyself) with a touch of irony (Vincent).
Wrath (orgēn). For such a Jew as already stated for the Gentile (Rom 1:18). There is a revelation (apokalupseōs) of God’s wrath for both in the day of wrath and righteous judgment (dikaiokrisias, a late compound word, in lxx, two examples in the Oxyrhynchus papyri, only here in N.T.). See note on 2Th 1:5 for dikaias kriseōs. Paul looks to the judgment day as certain (cf. 2Co 5:10-12), the day of the Lord (2Co 1:14).
