noyes Romans:1:18-32 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men ,
who keep down the truth in unrighteousness .
*
Because that which may be known of God is manifest within them ;
for God made it manifest to them .
*
For ,
ever since the creation of the world ,
his invisible attributes ,
even his eternal power and divinity ,
being perceived from his works ,
are clearly seen ,
so that they might be without excuse .
*
Because though they knew God ,
they did not glorify him as God ,
nor were they thankful to him ;
but became perverse in their reasonings ,
and their senseless minds were darkened ;
*
professing to be wise ,
they became fools ,
*
and for the glory of the incorruptible God they substituted images of corruptible man ,
and of birds and four
footed beasts and creeping things .
*
Wherefore God also gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity ,
to debase their bodies with one another ;
*
because they changed the true God for false gods ,
and adored and worshipped created things rather than the Creator ,
who is blessed for ever .
Amen .
*
For this cause God gave them up to vile passions .
For even their women indulged in unnatural lust ,
*
and in like manner the men also ,
neglecting the natural use of the female ,
burned with lust for one another ,
men with men practising that which is shameful ,
and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error .
*
And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge ,
God gave them up to a reprobate mind ,
to do things which are shameful ;
*
being filled with all unrighteousness ,
malice ,
covetousness ,
wickedness ;
full of envy ,
murder ,
strife ,
deceit ,
malignity ;
backbiters ,
*
slanderers ,
hated of God ,
insolent ,
proud ,
boasters ,
inventors of mischief ,
disobedient to parents ,
*
senseless ,
faithless ,
without natural affection ,
without pity ;
*
who ,
although knowing the ordinance of God ,
that they who practise such things deserve death ,
not only do them themselves ,
but approve of those who do them .
