Romans 1:18-23

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

God’s Wrath Is Upon All Sin

¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness^[a] and unrighteousness^[b] of people holding-down^[c] the truth in^[d] unrighteousness.

Because God Revealed Enough of Himself In Creation For The World To Be Without Excuse

¹⁹ Because the thing known of God is evident^[e] in^[f] them, for God made it evident to them. ²⁰ For His invisible things— both His eternal power and divine-nature— are clearly-seen, being understood since the creation of the world in the things made, so that they are without-excuse.

And Having Known This Truth About God, The World Did Not Honor Him As God

²¹ Because having known God, they did not glorify Him as God or give-thanks, but became futile in their thoughts, and their senseless heart was darkened.

They Turned From The Glory of The Immortal God To Their Crafted Images of God

²² While claiming to be wise, they became-foolish ²³ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for a likeness— an image of a mortal person and of birds and of four-footed-animals and of reptiles.
