²⁴ He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the ^(A)cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

By Grace Through Faith

God's Wrath on Unrighteousness

¹⁸ For ^(A)the wrath of God ^(B)is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

²⁰ For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, ^(A)have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,^[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

²⁸ And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, ^(A)God gave them up to ^(B)a debased mind to do ^(C)what ought not to be done.

³² Though they know ^(A)God's righteous decree that those who practice such things ^(B)deserve to die, they not only do them but ^(C)give approval to those who practice them.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever ^(I)the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, ^(J)so that every mouth may be stopped, and ^(K)the whole world may be held accountable to God.
