For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse.

since they show that what the Law requireth is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts in turn accusing or defending them;

since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer.

And this, since we know the time, that it is already high time for us to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we became believers.
