But because of your hard and unrepentant heart The phrase "hard and unrepentant heart" is crucial in understanding the spiritual condition Paul addresses. The Greek word for "hard" is "sklerotes," which implies stubbornness or obstinacy. This term is often used in Scripture to describe a heart that resists God's truth and grace. Historically, a "hard heart" is reminiscent of Pharaoh in Exodus, who repeatedly refused to heed God's commands. The "unrepentant" aspect, from the Greek "ametanoetos," indicates a refusal to change one's mind or direction, a critical component of repentance. In a conservative Christian perspective, this phrase warns against spiritual pride and the danger of ignoring the Holy Spirit's conviction. you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed Treasurest.--The treasuring up of wrath is opposed to that heavenly treasure spoken of in Matthew 6:20. The guilt of man is accumulated little by little. I The punishment will be discharged upon him all at once, in one overwhelming tide. Against the day of wrath.--Strictly, in the day of wrath--i.e., wrath to be outpoured upon the day of wrath. "The great and terrible day of the Lord" is a conception running through all the prophetic writings. (Comp. also, in the New Testament, Luke 17:30; Acts 2:20; 1Corinthians 1:8; 1Corinthians 5:5; 2Corinthians 1:14; 1Thessalonians 5:2; 1Thessalonians 5:4; 2Thessalonians 2:2; 2Peter 3:10; 2Peter 3:12; Revelation 6:17; Revelation 16:14.) . . . Verse 5. - But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God. The "day of wrath" is the day of judgment, the final display of eternal righteousness, when the "forbearance" will be over; ever represented, notwithstanding the world's redemption, under a terrible aspect for the persistently impenitent (cf. 2 Thessalonians 1:9). It may be here observed again that it is ὁ κρίνων against whom these indignant denunciations are hurled, and this on the very ground of his thus setting himself up to judge while being himself guilty. Of him it is implied, not only that he shares the guilt of mankind, but also that he especially will not escape the final judgment. Of others who, conscious of their own failings, seek sincerely alter good, this is not said, however liable to condemnation on their own mere merits they may be. Indeed, the contrary is emphatically asserted in the verses that follow; nay, even eternal life is assured to such, whoever they may be, and under whatever dispensation, though it does not fall within the scope of the argument to explain in this place why or how. It is important for us to see this clearly for an understanding of the drift of the chapter, and of St. Paul's whole doctrine with respect to human sin and its consequences.Parallel Commentaries ...
