Romans:1:18-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Besides the wrath of God is revealed from heaven ,
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men ,
who suppress the truth by unrighteousness .
*
Because that which may be known of God is manifest among them ,
for God has manifested it to them :
* (
for his invisible attributes ,
even his eternal power and divinity ,
since the creation of the world ,
are very evident ;
being known by his works :)
so that they are inexcusable .
*
Because ,
though they knew God ,
they did not glorify him as God ,
neither gave him thanks ;
but became foolish by their own reasonings ,
and their inconsiderate heart was darkened .
*
Professing to be wise men ,
they became fools :
*
for they changed the glory of the immortal God into the likeness of an image of mortal man ,
of fowls ,
or four-footed beasts ,
and of reptiles .
*
Therefore ,
also ,
God ,
through the lusts of their own hearts ,
delivered them over to uncleanness ,
to dishonor their own bodies among themselves .
*
Who changed the truth concerning God ,
into a lie ,
and worshiped and served the creature ,
rather than the Creator ,
who is forever blessed .
Amen .
*
For this ,
God delivered them over to shameful passions ;
for even their females changed the natural use unto what is contrary to nature .
*
In like manner ,
also ,
the males ,
leaving the natural use of the female ,
burned in their lust toward one another ,
males with males ,
working out that which is shameful ,
and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due .
*
And as they did not like to acknowledge God ,
God delivered them over to an undiscerning mind ,
to work those things which are not suitable ;
*
being filled with all injustice ,
fornication ,
wickedness ,
covetousness ,
maliciousness ;
full of envy ,
murder ,
strife ,
deceit ,
bad habits ,
whisperers ,
*
revilers ,
haters of God ,
insolent ,
proud ,
boasters ,
inventors of evil pleasure ,
disobedient to parents ,
*
impudent ,
covenant breakers ,
without natural affection ,
implacable ,
unmerciful .
*
Some ,
who clearly understand the law of God , (
that they who practice such things are worthy of death ,)
not only do these things ,
but even commend those who practice them .
