Footnotes

39 The genitive ἀνθρώπων could be taken as an attributed genitive, in which case the phase should be translated “against all ungodly and unrighteous people” (cf. “the truth of God” in v. 25 which is also probably an attributed genitive). C. E. B. Cranfield takes the section 1:18–32 to refer to all people (not just Gentiles), while 2:1–3:20 points out that the Jew is no exception (Romans [], 1:; 1:).
40 “Their” is implied in the Greek, but is supplied because of English style.
41 Or “by means of unrighteousness.” Grk “in (by) unrighteousness.”
42 Grk “is manifest to/in them.”
43 Grk “they”; the referent (people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

So they are without excuse.

NLTNew Living Translation

But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
