Romans 1:18-25 - God's Wrath Revealed Against Sinful Humanity

¹⁸ For God's anger is breaking forth from heaven against all the impiety and wickedness of the men who in their wickedness are suppressing the truth. ¹⁹ For all that can be known of God is clearly before them; God has shown it to them. ²⁰ Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible nature??is eternal power and divine character??ave been clearly perceptible through what he has made. So they have no excuse, ²¹ for, though they knew God, they have not honored him as God or given thanks to him, but they have indulged in futile speculations, until their stupid minds have become dark. ²² They called themselves wise, but they have turned into fools, ²³ and for the splendor of the immortal God they have substituted images in the form of mortal man, birds, animals, and reptiles.

²⁴ So God abandoned them, with their heart's cravings, to impurity, and let them degrade their own bodies. ²⁵ For they had exchanged the truth of God for what was false, and worshiped and served what he had created, instead of the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen!
