"God's Wrath on
Unrighteousness by Chris"
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness Romans 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth
in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is
manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the
creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal
power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because,
although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor
were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their
foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they
became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God
into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and
four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts
of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25
who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and
served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even
their women exchanged the natural use for what is against
nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the
woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men
committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the
penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their
knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those
things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all
unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[c] wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit,
evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of
God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving,
unforgiving,[d] unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous
judgment of God, that those who practice such things are
deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of
those who practice them.
