The Condemnation of the Unrighteous

1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people 1  who suppress the truth by their 2  unrighteousness, 3  1:19 because what can be known about God is plain to them, 4  because God has made it plain to them.

[1:18]  1 tn The genitive ἀνθρώπων could be taken as an attributed genitive, in which case the phase should be translated “against all ungodly and unrighteous people” (cf. “the truth of God” in v. 25 which is also probably an attributed genitive). C. E. B. Cranfield takes the section 1:18-32 to refer to all people (not just Gentiles), while 2:1-3:20 points out that the Jew is no exception (Romans [ICC], 1:104-6; 1:137-38).

[1:18]  2 tn “Their” is implied in the Greek, but is supplied because of English style.

[1:18]  3 tn Or “by means of unrighteousness.” Grk “in (by) unrighteousness.”

[1:19]  4 tn Grk “is manifest to/in them.”
