“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practise them. The final indictment reveals that knowledge and judgment have been utterly corrupted: these people comprehend God's sentence (dikaiōma) that sin merits death, yet they persist in evil and affectionately approve of others' wickedness. This represents the nadir of moral inversion—calling good evil and evil good.
