For ^(am)since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, ^(an)being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

For even though they knew God, they did not ^[n]honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became ^(ao)futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

^(ap)Professing to be wise, they became fools,

and ^(aq)exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and ^[o]crawling creatures.

Therefore ^(ar)God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be ^(as)dishonored among them.

For they exchanged the truth of God for ^[p]a ^(at)lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, ^(au)who is blessed ^[q]forever. Amen.
