Romans 1:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 1:18

The Just Live by Faith

16 For ^aI am not ashamed of the gospel¹ of Christ, for ^bit is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, ^cfor the Jew first and also for the Greek.

17 For ^ain it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ^b“The just shall live by faith.”

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

18 ^aFor the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and ^bunrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

19 because ^awhat may be known of God is manifest² in them, for ^bGod has shown it to them.

20 For since the creation of the world ^aHis invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and¹ Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but ^abecame futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 ^aProfessing to be wise, they became fools,

23 and changed the glory of the ^aincorruptible ^bGod into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 ^aTherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, ^bto dishonor their bodies ^camong themselves,

25 who exchanged ^athe truth of God ^bfor the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to ^avile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

27 Likewise also the¹ men, leaving the natural use of the² woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
