- Genesis 6:5
Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.
Commentary on Genesis 6:52 voices
And for a very long while wickedness extended and spread, and reached and laid hold upon the whole race of mankind, until a very small seed of righteousness remained among them: and illicit unions took place upon the earth, since angels were united with the daughters of the race of mankind; and they bore to them sons who for their exceeding greatness were called giants.
Irenaeus· The Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, Sections 18-19, 202Patristic
And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. And they said one to another: 'The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of their cryingst …

- Genesis 8:21
When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.
Commentary on Genesis 8:212 voices
Now let us consider more carefully what He says: And the Lord God said: Considering, I will not add to curse the earth on account of the works of men; because the heart of man remains diligently upon evil from his youth (Genesis 8:21). Therefore, He would not strike the whole earth again, as He did, all the days of the earth.
Ambrose of Milan· On Noah and the Ark, 22.80, 397Patristic
And the Lord smelled a sweet savour,....

- Deuteronomy 29:19
because when such a person hears the words of this oath, he invokes a blessing on himself, saying, ‘I will have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my own heart.’ This will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 29:192 voices
And it cometh to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Compare on the thought Jer 23:17. The secret and presumptuous sinner is meant who flatters himself that all is well and will be well with him, since he follows his own devices and prospers. Compare Psa 73:11 ff. To add drunkenness to thirst - The sense is probably: Himself, drinking iniquity like water, Job 15:16, he corrupts and destroys others who are thirsting for it or prone to it. The sense of the whole passage from Deu 29:16 onward to Deu 29:20 may be exhibited thus: Ye have seen the abominations of idolatry among the pagan.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Deuteronomy 29:20
The LORD will never be willing to forgive him. Instead, His anger and jealousy will burn against that man, and every curse written in this book will fall upon him. The LORD will blot out his name from under heaven
Commentary on Deuteronomy 29:201 voice
Then the Lord will not spare him,....

- 1 Chronicles 28:9
As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:92 voices
"Do you know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy." And in another place: "The Lord is with you as long as you are with him. If you abandon him, he also will abandon you."
Jerome· Against the Pelagians 3.1, 420Patristic
And thou, Solomon my son,....

- Proverbs 6:16–18
There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:
Commentary on Proverbs 6:16–182 voices
There are six things that the Lord hates, etc. He more fully indicates how detestable he is to God by sowing discord. But when the Lord says "soul," He does it in a human manner, to signify that He hates such people with full intention …
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
These six things doth the Lord hate,.... That is, the six following, which are all to be found in a man of Belial, a wicked man before described.

- Matthew 5:28
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Commentary on Matthew 5:282 voices
Between πάθος and προπάθεια, that is between actual passion and the first spontaneous movement of the mind, there is this difference: passion is at once a sin; the spontaneous movement of the mind, though it partakes of the evil of sin, is yet not held for an offence committedh. When then one looks upon a woman, and his mind is therewith smitten, there is propassion; if he yields to this he passes from propassion to passion, and then it is no longer the will but the opportunity to sin that is wanting.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
(Verse 28.) Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Between passion and pre-passion, that is, between feeling and intense feeling, there is a difference: passion is considered a vice, while pre-passion, although it carries the fault of initiation, is not held accountable in the crime. Therefore, whoever looks at a woman and his soul is tickled, he is struck by pre-passion.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Romans 1:21
For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.
Commentary on Romans 1:212 voices
A spiritual disciple of this sort truly receiving the Spirit of God, who was from the beginning, in all the dispensations of God, present with mankind, and announced things future, revealed things present, and narrated things past-[such a man] does indeed "judge all men, but is himself judged by no man." For he judges the Gentiles, "who serve the creature more than the Creator," and with a reprobate mind spend all their labour on vanity.
Irenaeus· Against Heresies Book IV, 202Patristic
Because that when they knew God,.... Though they had such a knowledge of the being and perfections of God, yet they glorified him not as God.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- 2 Corinthians 10:3
For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:31 voice
"I said, Ye are Gods; and all sons of the Highest." To whom speaks the Lord? To those who reject as far as possible all that is of man. And the apostle says, "For ye are not any longer in the flesh, but in the Spirit." And again he says, "Though in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh." "For flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." "Lo, ye shall die like men," the Spirit has said, confuting us.
Clement of Alexandria· The Stromata Book 2, 215Patristic
