Romans 1:16-23

16ForG1063 I amG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 of the gospelG3588G2098 of ChristG3588G5547: forG1063 it isG1510 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 untoG1519 salvationG4991 to every oneG3956 thatG3588 believethG4100; to the JewG2453 firstG4412, andG5037 alsoG2532 to the GreekG1672. 17ForG1063 thereinG1722 isG601 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 revealedG601 fromG1537 faithG4102 toG1519 faithG4102: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.

18ForG1063 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 fromG575 heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 unrighteousnessG93 of menG444, whoG3588 holdG2722 the truthG3588G225 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93; 19BecauseG1360 that which may be knownG1110 of GodG3588G2316 isG1510 manifestG5318 inG1722 themG846; forG1063 GodG2316 hath shewedG5319 it unto themG846. 20ForG1063 the invisible thingsG3588G517 of himG846 fromG575 the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 are clearly seenG2529, being understoodG3539 by the things that are madeG3588G4161, even hisG846 eternalG126 powerG3588G1411 andG2532 GodheadG2305; so thatG1519 theyG846 areG3588G1510 without excuseG379: 21Because thatG1360, when they knewG1097 GodG3588G2316, they glorifiedG1392 him notG3756 asG5613 GodG2316, neitherG2228 were thankfulG2168; butG235 became vainG3154 inG1722 theirG846 imaginationsG3588G1261, andG2532 theirG846 foolishG801 heartG2588 was darkenedG4654. 22Professing themselvesG5335 to beG1510 wiseG4680, they became foolsG3471, 23AndG2532 changedG236 the gloryG3588G1391 of the uncorruptibleG862 GodG2316 intoG1722 an imageG1504 made like toG3667 corruptibleG5349 manG444, andG2532 to birdsG4071, andG2532 fourfooted beastsG5074, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062.
