Romans 1:19-21 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them.… 1. In respect of the understanding the refusal of adoration, "they did not glorify," became a vain labouring of the mind, "they became vain," and complete estrangement from the truth, "they became fools." 2. In respect of the heart, ingratitude was first transformed into darkness, and then into monstrous and degrading fetishism. The ungrateful heart did not stop short at not thanking God, it degraded and dishonoured Him by changing Him into His opposite. (Prof. Godet.) Parallel Verses KJV: Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.WEB: because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. |
