Common English Bible

The way, the truth, and the life

14 “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God. Trust also in me. ²My Father’s house has room to spare. If that weren’t the case, would I have told you that I’m going to prepare a place for you? ³When I go to prepare a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me so that where I am you will be too. ⁴You know the way to the place I’m going.”

Romans 1:18-25

Common English Bible

Gentiles are without excuse

¹⁸God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodly behavior and the injustice of human beings who silence the truth with injustice. ¹⁹This is because what is known about God should be plain to them because God made it plain to them. ²⁰Ever since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities—God’s eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, because they are understood through the things God has made. So humans are without excuse. ²¹Although they knew God, they didn’t honor God as God or thank him. Instead, their reasoning became pointless, and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²²While they were claiming to be wise, they made fools of themselves. ²³They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that look like mortal humans: birds, animals, and reptiles. ²⁴So God abandoned them to their hearts’ desires, which led to the moral corruption of degrading their own bodies with each other. ²⁵They traded God’s truth for a lie, and they worshipped and served the creation instead of the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
