THE WRATH OF GOD IS BEING REVEALED FROM HEAVEN

18 The Wrath of God is Being revealed from Heaven

Against all godlessness and Wickedness

Of People who suppress the Truth by their Wickedness,

19 Since what may be know about God is Plain to them,

Because God has made it Plain to them.

20 For since the Creation of the World God’s invisible qualities--

His Eternal Power and Divine Nature--Have been Clearly Seen,

Being Understood from what has been made,

So that people are Without Excuse.

21 For although they knew God,

They neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him,

But their thinking became Futile

And their Foolish Hearts were Darkened.

22 Although they Claimed to be Wise, they became Fools

23 And Exchanged the Glory of the Immortal God

For Images made to look like a mortal human being

And birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the Sinful Desires of their hearts

To Sexual Impurity for the Degrading of their bodies with one another.

25 They exchanged the Truth about God for a Lie,

And worshiped created things rather than the Creator--

Who is forever praised. Amen

(Romans 1:18-25)
