Romans 1:18–25

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

^18aFor the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and ^bunrighteousness of men, who ⁴suppress the truth in unrighteousness, ¹⁹because ^cwhat may be known of God is ⁵manifest ⁶in them, for ^dGod has shown it to them. ²⁰For since the creation of the world ^eHis invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and ⁷Godhead, so that they are without excuse, ²¹because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but ^fbecame futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. ^22gProfessing to be wise, they became fools, ²³and changed the glory of the ^hincorruptible ⁱGod into an image made like ⁸corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

^24jTherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, ^kto dishonor their bodies ^lamong themselves, ²⁵who exchanged ^mthe truth of God ⁿfor the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
