This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





That are contentious; or, that are of contention: so, they of the circumcision, for such as are circumcised, Act_10:45 Gal_2:12. By contentious, understand such as are refractory and self-willed; that, from a spirit of contradiction, will not be persuaded; that strive and kick against the righteousness of God, from an opinion of their own righteousness, Hos_4:4.



Do not obey the truth: see Rom_1:18, and the note there.



But obey unrighteousness; that are the servants of sin, and of corruption, Rom_6:12 2Pe_2:19.



Indignation and wrath; these two differ only in degree: thereby understand the judgments of God upon the wicked, which are the effects of his anger: the cause is commonly put for the effect.
