Romans 2:8
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
अध्ययन टिप्पणी
Study Note
Paul's description of those who receive 'wrath and fury' — 'those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness' — names the moral structure of condemnation as the choice of selfishness over truth and unrighteousness over righteous ordering. The term 'self-seeking' (eritheia) originally meant seeking political or commercial advantage through factional manipulation, and Paul uses it to characterize the disposition oriented away from God and neighbor. The symmetrical structure of 2:7-8 — patient endurance / self-seeking, seeking glory / obeying unrighteousness — establishes that God's judgment is the formalized expression of moral directions already chosen. The verse contributes to Paul's universal condemnation (2:1-16) establishing that Jews and Greeks alike face the same eschatological tribunal with the same criteria applied.
