This phrase highlights the totality of human sinfulness. The use of "filled" suggests a saturation or complete permeation of these negative qualities. In biblical context, this reflects the fallen nature of humanity post-Genesis 3, where sin entered the world through Adam and Eve. The terms "wickedness," "evil," "greed," and "depravity" encompass a broad spectrum of moral corruption, indicating a departure from God's intended order. Greed, in particular, is often condemned in Scripture (e.g., <a href="/1_timothy/6-10.htm">1 Timothy 6:10</a>) as it reflects a heart turned away from God towards materialism. This phrase serves as a reminder of the need for redemption through Christ, who offers a path away from such a state.They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. Here, Paul lists specific sins that characterize the fallen human condition. Envy is a destructive emotion that can lead to other sins, as seen in the story of Cain and Abel (<a href="/genesis/4-3.htm">Genesis 4:3-8</a>). Murder, strife, deceit, and malice further illustrate the breakdown of relationships and community, which are central to God's design for humanity. The mention of "murder" connects to the sixth commandment (<a href="/exodus/20-13.htm">Exodus 20:13</a>), emphasizing the sanctity of life. "Strife" and "deceit" are often linked in Proverbs, warning against discord and dishonesty (<a href="/proverbs/6-16.htm">Proverbs 6:16-19</a>). This list underscores the pervasive nature of sin and the need for divine intervention through Jesus Christ, who embodies truth and reconciliation.They are gossips, Gossip is a sin that undermines trust and community, often leading to division and hurt. In the cultural context of the early church, maintaining unity was crucial, as seen in Paul's letters to various congregations. Gossip is condemned in Proverbs (<a href="/proverbs/16-28.htm">Proverbs 16:28</a>) and is seen as contrary to the love and edification that should characterize Christian fellowship. The destructive power of words is a recurring theme in Scripture, with <a href="/james/3-5.htm">James 3:5-6</a> likening the tongue to a fire.

"Secret backbiters and slanderers of every kind."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/romans/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 29-31. - Being filled with all unrighteousness, [fornication], wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, hated of God, despiteful (rather, insolent), proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection [implacable], unmerciful. Here not personal uncleanness only, but general and utter disregard of moral restraints and obligations (too prevalent, doubtless, at that time in civilized heathendom), is pointed out as the final judicial issue. The words used do not seem to be arranged on any exact system, but to have been written down as they occurred to the writer, being intended to be as comprehensive as possible. Among them those put above within brackets rest on weak authority. Πλεονεξία, translated here, as usually elsewhere, "covetousness," means generally "inordinate desire," not necessarily of riches; and St. Paul seems generally to use it with reference to inordinate lust (cf. <a href="/ephesians/4-19.htm">Ephesians 4:19</a>; <a href="/ephesians/5-3.htm">Ephesians 5:3</a>; <a href="/colossians/3-3.htm">Colossians 3:3</a>; also <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-6.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:6</a> and <a href="/2_peter/2-14.htm">2 Peter 2:14</a>; and, for πλεονέκτης, <a href="/ephesians/5-5.htm">Ephesians 5:5</a>, The word θεοστυγεῖς, both from its formation (compare θεοφιλὴς and φιλόθεος, with other instances), and its ordinary use in classical Greek (it occurs here only in the New Testament) must certainly be taken to mean "God-hated," not "God-haters." It seems suggested here by the previous καταλάλους, being (we may suppose) used commonly of the delatores who are known to have been a special pest of society at that period of Roman history. Alford quotes Tacitus, 'Ann.,' 6:7, where they are called "Principi quidem grati, et Deo exosi;" also Philo, 'Ap Damascen.,' Διάβολοι καὶ θείας ἀποπέμπτοι χάριτος οἱ τὴν αὐτὴν ἐκέινω διαβολικὴν νοσοῦντες κακοτεχνίαν θεοστυγεῖς τε καὶ θεομισεῖς πάντη. In ver. 31 the collocation of ἀσυνέτους and ἀσυνθέτους seems to have been suggested by similarity of sound, there being no apparent link of ideas. The latter word is rightly translated in the Authorized Version, as is also ἀσόνδους; ἀσυνθέτους being one who breaks treaties, "faithless;" ἀσπονδους, one who refuses to enter into a truce or treaty, "implacable." <a href="/commentaries/romans/1-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>They have become filled with πεπληρωμένους (peplērōmenous) Verb - Perfect Participle Middle or Passive - Accusative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_4137.htm">Strong's 4137: </a> From pleres; to make replete, i.e. to cram, level up, or to furnish, satisfy, execute, finish, verify, etc. every kind of πάσῃ (pasē) Adjective - Dative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3956.htm">Strong's 3956: </a> All, the whole, every kind of.
