Romans:1:18-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men ,
who suppress the truth in unrighteousness ,
*
because what may be known of God is manifest in them ,
for God has shown it to them .
*
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen ,
being understood by the things that are made ,
even His eternal power and Godhead ,
so that they are without excuse ,
*
because ,
although they knew God ,
they did not glorify Him as God ,
nor were thankful ,
but became futile in their thoughts ,
and their foolish hearts were darkened .
*
Professing to be wise ,
they became fools ,
*
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things .
*
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness ,
in the lusts of their hearts ,
to dishonor their bodies among themselves ,
*
who exchanged the truth of God for the lie ,
and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator ,
who is blessed forever .
Amen .
*
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions .
For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature .
*
Likewise also the men ,
leaving the natural use of the woman ,
burned in their lust for one another ,
1men with 1men committing what is shameful ,
and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due .
*
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge ,
God gave them over to a debased mind ,
to do those things which are not fitting ;
*
being filled with all unrighteousness ,
sexual immorality ,
wickedness ,
covetousness ,
maliciousness ;
full of envy ,
murder ,
strife ,
deceit ,
evil-mindedness ;
they are whisperers ,
*
backbiters ,
haters of God ,
violent ,
proud ,
boasters ,
inventors of evil things ,
disobedient to parents ,
*
undiscerning ,
untrustworthy ,
unloving ,
unforgiving ,
unmerciful ;
*
who ,
knowing the righteous judgment of God ,
that those who practice such things are deserving of death ,
not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them .
