Romans 1:18-20
International Standard Version
God’s Wrath against Sinful Humanity
18 For God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodliness and wickedness of those who in their wickedness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God himself has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s[a] invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people[b] are without excuse.

Wisdom Can Be Found in God’s Creation
7 “Ask the wild animals, and they’ll teach you;
the birds of the sky will tell you.

let the fish in the sea tell you.
9 Who among all of these doesn’t know
that the Lord’s hand made them,[a]
10 and that the life of every living thing[b] rests in his control,
along with the breath of every living human being?

Job 10:8-12
International Standard Version
8 Your hands formed and fashioned me,
but then you have destroyed me all at once on all sides.
9 “‘Please remember that you’ve made me like clay
and you’ll return me to dust.

and let me congeal like cheese?

weaving me together with bones and sinews.
12 You gave life and gracious love to me;
your providential care has preserved my spirit.

Everyone is a Sinner
3 What advantage, then, does the Jew have, or what value is there in circumcision? 2 There are all kinds of advantages! First of all, the Jews[a] have been entrusted with the utterances of God. 3 What if some of the Jews[b] were unfaithful?
