19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 有关上帝的事情,可以让人类知道的都已经显而易见,因为上帝已经向人类显明了。
20 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.自从创造天地以来,上帝永恒的大能和神性是明明可知的,虽然肉眼看不见,但透过受造之物就可以领悟,因而人类毫无借口推说不知。
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 他们虽然明知有上帝,却不把祂当作上帝,既不将荣耀归给祂,也不感谢祂。他们的思想因此变得荒谬无用,无知的心也变得昏暗不明。

23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. 以必朽的人、飞禽、走兽和爬虫的形象来取代永恒上帝的荣耀。
