God’s anger towards those who deny his existence

Rom 1:18–32

1:18 God’s anger towards those who deny his existence

18 God’s severe anger is being revealed from heaven on the ungodliness and disobedience of people who limit the truth by their disobedience, 19 because the fact that there is a god has been shown to them, because God himself has revealed it. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, God’s invisible attributes have been clearly seen through his workmanship—both his eternal power and his divinity—so people have no excuse. 21 Even though they know about God, they didn’t honour or thank him, but their theories made them incompetent and their minds turned from perception towards darkness.[ref] 22 They claimed to be scientific, but instead they believed foolishness, 23 and so they changed the greatness of the eternal God into the likeness of an image of a mortal human, or birds or animals or reptiles.[ref]

24 Therefore God reluctantly let their lusts lead to impurity and the dishonouring of their bodies among themselves, 25 as they exchanged God’s truth for a lie, and worshipped and served the creation, instead of the creator, who should be praised throughout all time. May it be so.

26 Because of that, God reluctantly let them exercise their dishonourable passions, and their women exchanged natural behaviours for unnatural ones, 27 and similarly their men deserted the natural behaviours towards women, and stoked their lusts towards each other—man with man, and the shame that it produces, and then received back in themselves the payment which is appropriate for such deception.

28 They didn’t want to know about God, and so he reluctantly let their depraved minds be filled with unhelpful thoughts, 29 and so they were filled with disobedience, wickedness, greed, and malice, and full of envy, murder, strife, and deceit, becoming malicious people, gossips, 30 slanderers, god-haters, abusers, proud people, braggers, and inventors of evil, unable to be persuaded by their parents, 31 unintelligent, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful. 32 They know that God must exercise justice towards people doing such things, yet they not only practice those things which will lead to a death sentence, but they also approve when others do them.

18 For/Because is _being _revealed the_severe _anger of_god from heaven, on all ungodliness and unrighteousness of _people, which the truth by unrighteousness restraining,

19 because the known thing of_ the _god, manifest is among them, the For/Because god to _them revealed it.

20 For/Because the invisible things of _him from the_creation of_the_world, by _the workmanship being _understood, is _being _clearly _seen, the both eternal of _him power and divinity, in _order that to _be them inexcusable.

21 Because having _known the god, not as god they _glorified or they _gave _thanks, but they _were _made _useless in the speculations of _them, and was _darkened the unintelligent of _them heart.

22 Alleging to _be wise, they _were _made _foolish,

23 and they _changed the glory of _the indestructible god into a_likeness of_an_image of_a_mortal human, and birds, and quadrupeds, and reptiles.

24 Therefore gave _over them the god in the desires of _the hearts of _them to impurity, which to _be _dishonouring the bodies of _them in themselves,

25 who exchanged the truth of_ the _god into the falsehood, and were _worshipped and serving unto _the creation contrary _to the one having _created it, who is blessed to the ages.
Truly.

26 Because _of this, gave _over them the god to passions of _dishonour, which for both female of _them exchanged the natural usage into the contrary _to nature,

27 and likewise also the male having _left the natural usage of _the female, were _burned in the desire of _them toward one _another, male with male the shame producing, and the recompense which it _was _fitting of _the deception of _them, in themselves taking _back.

28 And as not they _approved the god to _be _having in knowledge, gave _over them the god to an_unqualified mind, to _be _doing the things not befitting,

29 having _been _filled with _all unrighteousness, wickedness, greediness, malice, full of _envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness, gossips,

30 slanderers, god-hating, abusers, proud, braggers, inventors of _evil, to _parents unpersuadable,

31 unintelligent, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful,

32 who the just _act of_ the _god having _known that the ones the such things doing worthy of _death are, not only them are _practicing, but also they _are _consenting to _the ones practicing.

4:17 Proper behaviour for godly people

17 So I’ll say this with Yahweh’s direction: you all are no longer to walk like unbelieving pagans who trust in their own futile thinking. 18 Their minds have been darkened because their ignorance has drawn them away from the life of God due to the hardening of their hearts.
