Roma 1:21

1:21 For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts ¹  were darkened.

Roma 1:25

1:25 They ²  exchanged the truth of God for a lie ³  and worshiped and served the creation ⁴  rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

[1:21]  ¹ tn Grk “heart.”

[1:25]  ² tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:25]  ³ tn Grk “the lie.”

[1:25]  ⁴ tn Or “creature, created things.”
