Romans:1:18-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness .
*
Because that which is known of God is manifest in them ,
for God has shown [
it ]
to them .
*
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of [ ]
the world are clearly seen ,
being understood by the things made ,
both His eternal power and divinity ,
so that they are without excuse .
*
Because ,
having known God ,
they did not glorify [
Him ]
as God ,
or give thanks ,
but became vain in their reasonings ,
and their foolish heart was darkened .
*
Asserting themselves to be wise ,
they became fools ,
*
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for a likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and reptiles .
*
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of the own hearts ,
to dishonor their own bodies among themselves ,
*
who exchanged the truth of God for the lie ,
and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator ,
who is blessed forever .
Amen .
*
For this reason God gave them up to shameful lusts ,
for even their women exchanged the natural use for that which is contrary to nature ,
*
and likewise also the men ,
having forsaken the natural use of the woman ,
were inflamed by their lust for one another ,
men with men ,
committing what is shameful ,
and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error .
*
And just as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge ,
God gave them up to a reprobate mind ,
to do the things which are not fitting ;
*
having been filled with all unrighteousness ,
fornication ,
wickedness ,
greed ,
malice ;
full of envy ,
murder ,
strife ,
deceit ,
maliciousness ;
they are whisperers ,
*
slanderers ,
haters of God ,
insolent men ,
proud ,
braggarts ,
inventors of evil things ,
disobedient to parents ,
*
without understanding ,
untrustworthy ,
unloving ,
unforgiving ,
unmerciful ;
*
who ,
having known the righteous judgment of God ,
that those practicing such things are worthy of death ,
not only do them ,
but also approve of those who practice them .
