Roman Chapter 1 Verse 17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith ... as
it is written ... the just person shall live by faith.
For the Wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men ... who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them ... for God hath
shown it unto them.
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.
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 ... professing themselves to be wise, they became fools ... and
changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made likeness to
corruptible man.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own
hearts ... to dishonour their own bodies between themselves.
They are who changed the Truth of God into a lie ... and worshipped and
served the creature more than the Creator Whom is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God to give them up unto vile affections ... for even their
women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of a woman, burned in
their lust one toward another ... men with men working that which is unseemly ...
and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them
over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness, envy, murder, deceit, malignity ... and whisperers, backbiters,
haters of God, despiteful proud boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient
to parents ... without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural
affection, implacable, unmerciful ... who, knowing the Judgement of God, that
they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but
have pleasure in them that do them.
Therefore thou art inexcusable, o man, whosoever thou art that judgest ...
for wherein thou judgest another thou condemnest thyself ... for thou that
judgest do the same things.
But we are sure that the Judgment of God is according to truth against them
which commit such things.
