I am proud of the good news! It is God's powerful way of saving all people who have faith, whether they are Jews or Gentiles.

The good news tells how God accepts everyone who has faith, but only those who have faith. It is just as the Scriptures say, “The people God accepts because of their faith will live.”

God's eternal power and character cannot be seen. But from the beginning of creation, God has shown what these are like by all he has made. That's why those people don't have any excuse.

They know about God, but they don't honour him or even thank him. Their thoughts are useless, and their stupid minds are in the dark.

They gave up the truth about God for a lie, and they worshipped God's creation instead of God, who will be praised for ever. Amen.

From heaven God shows how angry he is with all the wicked and evil things that sinful people do to crush the truth.

God let them follow their own evil desires. Women no longer wanted to have sex in a natural way, and they did things with each other that were not natural. Men behaved in the same way. They stopped wanting to have sex with women and had strong desires for sex with other men. They did shameful things with each other, and what has happened to them is punishment for their foolish deeds. Since these people refused even to think about God, he let their useless minds rule over them. That's why they do all sorts of indecent things.

They claim to be wise, but they are fools. They don't worship the glorious and eternal God. Instead, they worship idols that are made to look like humans who cannot live for ever, and like birds, animals, and reptiles.
