This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2. τὸ κρίμα τοῦ θεοῦ. The ὀργή is now conceived as an act of judgment.

κατὰ ἀλήθειαν, in accordance with truth—i.e. the true facts of GOD’S nature and man’s condition. Moral judgment ought to express the actual mind of the judge in relation to the case submitted to him. This is the case with GOD’S judgment, not with man’s as here considered. Man can judge only so far as he is making his own the mind of GOD; cf. 1Co 5:3. GOD’S judgment is just because it corresponds to facts.
