Romans 1:18-25: For
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident to
them; for God made it evident to them.
For since the creation of the world His
invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been
clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they
are without excuse.
For even though they knew God, they did
not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their
speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing to be wise, they became fools,
and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the
form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and
crawling creatures.
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts
of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored
among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped
and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever.
Amen.
