Romans 1:16-23

16For I amG1870 not 1ashamedG1870 of the gospelG2098, for 2it is the powerG1411 of GodG2316 for salvationG4991 to everyoneG3956 who believesG4100, to the 3JewG2453 firstG4413 and alsoG5037 to 4the GreekG1672. 17For in it 5the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 6from faithG4102 to faithG4102; as it is writtenG1125: “78But the righteousG1342 one will liveG2198 by faithG4102.”

18For 9the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 from heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 and unrighteousnessG93 of peopleG444 who 10suppressG2722 the truthG225 11in unrighteousnessG93, 19becauseG1360 12that whichG1110 isG1110 knownG1110 about GodG2316 is evidentG5318 13withinG1722 them; for GodG2316 madeG5319 it evidentG5319 to them. 20For 14sinceG575 the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 His invisibleG517 attributes, that is, His eternalG126 powerG1411 and divineG2305 natureG2305, have been clearlyG2529 perceivedG2529, 15being understoodG3539 by whatG4161 hasG4161 beenG4161 madeG4161, soG1519 thatG1519 they are withoutG379 excuseG379. 21For even though they knewG1097 GodG2316, they did not 16honorG1392 Him as GodG2316 orG2228 giveG2168 thanksG2168, but they becameG3154 17futileG3154 in their reasoningsG1261, and their senselessG801 heartsG2588 were darkenedG4654. 2218ClaimingG5335 to be wiseG4680, they becameG3471 foolsG3471, 23and they 19exchangedG236 the gloryG1391 of the incorruptibleG862 GodG2316 for an imageG1504 in the formG3667 of corruptibleG5349 mankindG444, of birdsG4071, four-footedG5074 animalsG5074, and 20crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062.
