First Main Division: The Sin of the World
(Rom 1:18-32, Rom 2:1-29, Rom 3:1-20)

Sin is now brought before us. The naked, horrid facts are dragged out and made to stand forth in the blazing light of God’s holy wrath. This is needful and wholesome: for if we are ever to know the blessedness of God’s remedy for the evil, we must first know something of the reality of the evil, and realize in some measure its enormity. This terrible arraignment of guilty man at the bar of God is set forth in three subdivisions: (1) The guilt of the Gentiles; (2) The guilt of the Jews; and (3) Every mouth stopped.
