SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:18–32: God is angry with people because they sin

In this section, Paul said that it is clear that God is angry about the bad things that people do. God has shown all people who he is, but they have rejected him. So they became fools and worshiped things instead of God. And so God put them under the control of sinful desires even more.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

The reason why God is angry with people

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness (ESV)

People do what is not right in God’s sight and so God is angry

1:22a

Although they claimed to be wise,

They were declaring that they were wise.
They said strongly/confidently that they were wise and educated people,

1:22b

they became fools,

But instead they became foolish,
but in fact they turned/changed into fools.

1:22a–b

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools: There is no conjunction between these two clauses. The Greek grammar indicates that Although they claimed to be wise occurs at the same time as they became fools. Here are other ways to translate this connection:

While they were claiming to be wise, they became fools

They always say that they are wise, but in truth they became fools

claimed: The Greek word here refers to saying something with confidence that it is true. Here are other ways to translate this word:

declaring

asserting

saying confidently

wise: The Greek word that the BSB translates as wise refers to people who have wisdom and education. See how you translated this word in 1:14.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

ἐμωράνθησαν

˱they˲_˓were˒_made_foolish

The phrase they became foolish is in contrast to what these unrighteous people claimed about themselves in the previous clause. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: [instead they became foolish]

ἐμωράνθησαν

˱they˲_˓were˒_made_foolish

Alternate translation: [they became fools] or [they acted like fools] or [they started acting like fools]
