(Rom 1:32) “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.” Look….(Rom 1:29) “Being filled with…malignity;….”  Malignity: bad character, mischievousness; one with evil intentions. How opposite the desire of God for His child! He wants us to be pure of heart, seeking the good of others, seeking kindness towards others, seeking to benefit others through our verbiage and our actions.

(Rom 1:32) “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.” Look….(Rom 1:29) “Being filled with…deceit,…”  “Deceit”: from the word “decoy”; wile, translated craft, deceit, guile, subtilty.  It is plain to see why this person would be worthy of death; these are the traits of Satan himself. It is sad when a professed believer is other than truthful, instead practicing some level of deceit. God help us to be open and honest!

 (Rom 1:32) “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.” Look….(Rom 1:29) “Being filled with…debate,…”  “Debate”: contentious, quarrelsome, argumentative.  The world affects the saved, for we live in it. We bring such an attitude towards the things of God as if we have the right to an opinion. No, dear ones. We only have the right and the duty of love for Him to obey. 

(Rom 1:32) “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.” Look….(Rom 1:29) “Being filled with…murder,….”  America has been defiled by the shedding of innocent blood. In contrast, as the Believer seeks to live before God, we must remember that God hears our very thoughts. Seek to love, fulfilling the law of Christ Jesus: (Luk 6:27) “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,” 

 (Rom 1:32) “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.” Look….(Rom 1:29) “Being filled with… full of envy,…”  “Envy”: ill will towards another prompted by jealousy. Remember: believers are saved from hell and possess a new nature that desires to please God. Yet, our old nature can be dominate in us if we do not yield to the Holy Spirit. “Envy” itself may be hidden from us, not realizing it is the reason we harbor feeling towards another. Love rejoices even in the praise given another.  

(Rom 1:32) “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.” Look….(Rom 1:29) “Being filled with… maliciousness;…”  “Malicious”: from the word “depravity”. This person is harmful to others on purpose. Sometimes we see this in ourselves, when we lash out towards others verbally. We wish to hurt them with our words. Sad.  

(Rom 1:32) “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.” Look….(Rom 1:29) “Being filled with… covetousness,…”  “Covetousness”: unlike what one might think, that it is the desire for “things”; it is instead the way one would go about to get those things (to fraud, extort). These would seek what they want no matter what the Bible says: “I will work another job. Can’t be faithful to the Lord’s house but the Lord understands.”  

(Rom 1:32) “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.” Look….(Rom 1:29) “Being filled with… wickedness,…”  “Wickedness”: from the word, “depravity”. It is malice, the plotting of, therefore the plans to sin. When men or women plan to sin in whatever way (“This weekend we will get together. ‘Whoever’ will bring the beer”, thus the inhibitions will be lowered and sin will be the result; etc…), they are performing a wicked act in the sight of God.

(Rom 1:32) “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.” Look….(Rom 1:29) “Being filled with… fornication,…”  We live in a world of which premarital sex is the norm – worthy of death. “Fornication”: sexual sin – worthy of death in the eyes of God. Do you wholeheartedly agree with God? Do these verses reveal to your soul how much you have been influenced by this world?   

(Rom 1:32) “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.” So, one “filled with unrighteousness” is worthy of death. What is unrighteousness? Answer: those who think, ponder, who do what they think is right rather than what God says. To even stand with or behind such people, the Lord just said makes one worthy of death.
