Romans 1:18-21

God's Wrath on Unrighteousness

¹⁸ For _k the wrath of God _l is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. ¹⁹ For what can be _m known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. ²⁰ For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, _n have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. ²¹ For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they _o became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
