Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.

But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

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 from men, but from God.

But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.

that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.

Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.

But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down);

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim:

that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made, resulting in salvation.

But, as it is written, "They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who have not heard will understand."
