“But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,”
But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there is wrath and anger. The contrast: those characterized by self-seeking (eritheia) and rejection of truth (apisteo tēi alētheiai) face God's wrath (thumos). The pairing of wrath and anger suggests intensifying divine judgment. Yet again, the principle enunciated—judgment according to works—will prove to implicate all humanity.
