God

because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.

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.

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.

Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:

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.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

And even as they refused to have God intheirknowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.

And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.

And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

for there is no respect of persons with God.

for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;

in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?

God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.

But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)

God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
