2 Romans 1:1 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
I wish to remind you of God and regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed God, the Son of God in name and power. By his death and resurrection, Jesus Christ our Lord we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.
I am to tell you that the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Dear Rome, even so you knew God, you neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but your thinking has become futile and in your foolish hearts you were darkened. Although you claimed to be wise, you have become fools. You exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles alike. For this reason God gave some of you over to the sinful desires of your hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of your bodies with one another. Because you exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
