{Therefore} (	oigaroun). This old triple compound particle
(	oi, gar, oun) is in the N.T. only here and  Heb 12:1 . Paul
applies the logic of the case. {He that rejecteth} (ho
athet(936e)). This late verb (Polybius and LXX) is from a-thetos
(a privative and verbal of 	ith(886d)i, to proscribe a thing, to
annul it. {But God} (alla ton theon). Paul sees this clearly
and modern atheists see it also. In order to justify their
licentiousness they do not hesitate to set aside God.
