“Storing up Wrath”

Comments by Scholars on Romans 2:5

“ To treasure up [Hodge’s rendition of ‘storing up’] is to lay up little by little, and thus accumulate a store of anything, whether good or evil. The abusers of God’s goodness accumulate a store of wrath for themselves.”

Charles Hodge: Commentary on the Epistle of Romans, revised edition 1886, reprinted by Eerdmans, page 49

“ . . . slowly but surely building up a reservoir of divine wrath that will be crushing when in breaks over the guilty in the day of reckoning.”

Everett F. Harrison in Frank E. Gaebelein (General Editor) The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, Zondervan, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1976, page 29
