Diabolical Conquest

The wrath of God is revealed from heaven

Against all ungodliness and unrighteousness

Of those who in their wickedness

Suppress and stifle the truth

That which is known about God

Is evident in their inner consciousness

For God made it evident to them

Like unreasoning animals

Mere creatures of instinct

Born to be captured and destroyed

They will perish in their own corruption

For even though they knew God as the Creator

They did not honor Him as God or give thanks

They became worthless in their thinking

And their foolish heart was darkened

Claiming to be wise, they became fools

And exchanged the glory and majesty

And excellence of the immortal God

For an image of worthless idols

That which is known about God

Is evident in their inner consciousness

For God made it evident to them

Like unreasoning animals

Mere creatures of instinct

Born to be captured and destroyed

They will perish in their own corruption

For even though they knew God as the Creator

They did not honor Him as God or give thanks

They became worthless in their thinking

And their foolish heart was darkened

Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their own hearts to impurity, abandoning them to the degrading power of sin

Because they chose to exchange the truth of God for a lie

And worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator

For ever since the creation of the world

His eternal power and divine nature

Have been clearly seen through His works

So that they are without excuse and without defense
