God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

^18 (A)For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and ^(B)unrighteousness of men, who ^[a]suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

The Great Apostasy

4 Now the Spirit ^[a]expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed ^(A)to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, ^2 (B)speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience ^(C)seared with a hot iron,

³² who, ^(A)knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things ^(B)are deserving of death, not only do the same but also ^(C)approve of those who practice them.

^6 (A)Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon ^(B)the sons of disobedience,

¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception among ^(A)those who perish, because they did not receive ^(B)the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹³ And do not present your ^(A)members as ^[a]instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but ^(B)present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^(A)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(B)from wrath through Him.

¹⁵ because ^(A)the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, ^(A)that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For ^(B)everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. ²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been ^(C)done in God.”
