The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness. God's wrath (orgē) is not capricious anger but the righteous judgment of a holy God against sin and rebellion. It is being revealed (apokalyptō)—the same word used for the revelation of righteousness—indicating that God's justice operates contemporaneously with his mercy. Suppress the truth (katechō tēn alētheian) suggests an active, willful restraint or hindrance of what humans already know of God's reality.
