1:20-25:
For
since the creation of the world God's invisible
qualities-- his eternal power and divine nature--
have been clearly seen, being understood from what
has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither
glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but
their thinking became futile and their foolish
hearts were darkened. 22 Although they
claimed to be wise, they became fools 23
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for
images made to look like mortal man and birds and
animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God
gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts
to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies
with one another. 25 They exchanged the
truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served
created things rather than the Creator-- who is
forever praised. Amen. (NIV)
For
since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21
because, although they knew God, they did not
glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became
futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts
were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise,
they became fools, 23 and changed the
glory of the incorruptible God into an image made
like corruptible man-- and birds and four-footed
animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore
God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts
of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among
themselves, 25who exchanged the truth of
God for the lie, and worshiped and served the
creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen. (NKJ)
For
the invisible things of him since the creation of
the world are clearly seen, being perceived through
the things that are made, (even) his everlasting
power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:
21 because that, knowing God, they
glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but
became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless
heart was darkened. 22 Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for
the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of
birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God gave them up in the
lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their
bodies should be dishonored among themselves:
25 for that they exchanged the truth of God
for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature
rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.
Amen. (ASV)
For
the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him
not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain
in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was
darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be
wise, they became fools, 23 And changed
the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image
made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and
fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness
through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour
their own bodies between themselves: 25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and
worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (KJV) |
