The wrath of God is revealed from heaven
Against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
Of those who in their wickedness
Suppress and stifle the truth
That which is known about God
Is evident in their inner consciousness
For God made it evident to them
Like unreasoning animals
Mere creatures of instinct
Born to be captured and destroyed
They will perish in their own corruption
For even though they knew God as the Creator
They did not honor Him as God or give thanks
They became worthless in their thinking
And their foolish heart was darkened
Claiming to be wise, they became fools
And exchanged the glory and majesty
And excellence of the immortal God
For an image of worthless idols
That which is known about God
Is evident in their inner consciousness
For God made it evident to them
Like unreasoning animals
Mere creatures of instinct
Born to be captured and destroyed
They will perish in their own corruption
For even though they knew God as the Creator
They did not honor Him as God or give thanks
They became worthless in their thinking
And their foolish heart was darkened
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their own hearts to impurity, abandoning them to the degrading power of sin
Because they chose to exchange the truth of God for a lie
And worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator
For ever since the creation of the world
His eternal power and divine nature
Have been clearly seen through His works
So that they are without excuse and without defense
Romans 1
