Romans 1:20-22

1:20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people ¹  are without excuse. 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 ²  were darkened. 1:22 Although they claimed ³  to be wise, they became fools

[1:20]  ¹ tn Grk “they”; the referent (people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:21]  ² tn Grk “heart.”

[1:22]  ³ tn The participle φάσκοντες (faskonte") is used concessively here.
