In biblical times, slander was a serious offense, often leading to social and legal repercussions. The Old Testament frequently condemns slander (e.g., <a href="/proverbs/10-18.htm">Proverbs 10:18</a>, <a href="/leviticus/19-16.htm">Leviticus 19:16</a>), emphasizing the importance of truth and integrity. In the New Testament, slander is seen as a manifestation of a corrupt heart (<a href="/matthew/15-19.htm">Matthew 15:19</a>) and is contrary to the love and unity expected within the Christian community (<a href="/ephesians/4-31.htm">Ephesians 4:31</a>).God-haters This term refers to those who are actively opposed to God, rejecting His authority and commandments. Throughout Scripture, the rejection of God is depicted as a grave sin, leading to spiritual and often physical consequences (<a href="/psalms/81-15.htm">Psalm 81:15</a>). The concept of being a "God-hater" is tied to the broader biblical theme of rebellion against divine authority, as seen in the fall of Satan (<a href="/isaiah/14-12.htm">Isaiah 14:12-15</a>) and the persistent idolatry of Israel (<a href="/jeremiah/2-13.htm">Jeremiah 2:13</a>).insolent Insolence involves a disrespectful and contemptuous attitude, often towards authority. The Bible frequently warns against such behavior, as it reflects a heart that is not submissive to God's will (<a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a>). Insolence is seen in the actions of figures like Pharaoh, who defied God's commands through Moses (<a href="/exodus/5-2.htm">Exodus 5:2</a>), and is contrasted with the humility exemplified by Christ (<a href="/philippians/2-5.htm">Philippians 2:5-8</a>).arrogant Arrogance is characterized by an inflated sense of self-worth and a lack of humility. The Bible consistently condemns arrogance, associating it with pride, which precedes a fall (<a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a>). Arrogance is seen in the actions of King Nebuchadnezzar, who was humbled by God for his pride (<a href="/daniel/4-30.htm">Daniel 4:30-37</a>). In contrast, Jesus taught and modeled humility, urging His followers to do the same (<a href="/matthew/23-12.htm">Matthew 23:12</a>).boastful Boastfulness involves speaking with excessive pride about one's achievements or possessions. Scripture warns against boasting, as it reflects a reliance on self rather than on God (<a href="/james/4-16.htm">James 4:16</a>). The Apostle Paul, in his letters, often contrasts worldly boasting with boasting in the Lord (<a href="/2_corinthians/10-17.htm">2 Corinthians 10:17</a>), emphasizing that true worth and success come from God alone.They invent new forms of evil This phrase suggests a creativity in sinning, going beyond traditional transgressions to devise new ways of doing wrong. This reflects the depth of human depravity and the continual rebellion against God's moral order. The Bible records various instances of humanity's inventiveness in sin, such as the construction of the Tower of Babel (<a href="/genesis/11.htm">Genesis 11:1-9</a>), which symbolized human pride and defiance against God.they disobey their parents Disobedience to parents is a violation of the fifth commandment (<a href="/exodus/20-12.htm">Exodus 20:12</a>), which underscores the importance of family structure and respect for authority. In biblical culture, honoring one's parents was foundational to societal stability and was seen as a reflection of one's relationship with God. The New Testament reiterates this commandment, highlighting its significance for Christian living (<a href="/ephesians/6.htm">Ephesians 6:1-3</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a> The author of the Book of Romans, Paul is writing to the believers in Rome to explain the gospel and its implications for both Jews and Gentiles. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_roman_church.htm">The Roman Church</a> The recipients of the letter, consisting of both Jewish and Gentile Christians, living in the heart of the Roman Empire. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_gentile_world.htm">The Gentile World</a> Paul is addressing the moral and spiritual state of the Gentile world, highlighting their rejection of God and the resulting moral decay. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_early_christian_community.htm">The Early Christian Community</a> The broader context includes the early Christian community, which is grappling with issues of sin, grace, and the transformative power of the gospel. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_roman_empire.htm">The Roman Empire</a> The cultural and political backdrop of the letter, known for its moral decadence and diverse religious practices.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_nature_of_sin.htm">The Nature of Sin</a> Sin is not just an action but a condition of the heart that manifests in various forms, such as slander, arrogance, and disobedience. <a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_rejecting_god.htm">The Consequences of Rejecting God</a> When people turn away from God, they become inventors of evil, creating new ways to sin and rebel against divine order. <a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_humility.htm">The Importance of Humility</a> Arrogance and boastfulness are contrary to the Christian call to humility.

There seem to be no examples of the active sense. The Apostle apparently throws in one emphatic word summing up the catalogue as far as it has gone; he then resumes with a new class of sins. Hitherto he has spoken chiefly of sins of malice, now he turns to sins of pride.Despiteful, proud, boasters.--The three words correspond to the distinction between act, thought, and word. The first implies distinctly insolence in outward bearing; it is the word translated "injurious" in <a href="/1_timothy/1-13.htm" title="Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.">1Timothy 1:13</a>. The second is a strong self-esteem mixed with contempt for others. (See <a href="/2_timothy/3-2.htm" title="For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,">2Timothy 3:2</a>.)
