30 (A)The times of ignorance (B)God overlooked, but (C)now he (D)commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed (E)a day on which (F)he will judge the world (G)in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and (H)of this he has given assurance to all (I)by raising him from the dead.”

English Standard Version
4 In their case (A)the god of this world (B)has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing (C)the light of (D)the gospel of the glory of Christ, (E)who is the image of God. 5 For what (F)we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with (G)ourselves as your servants[a] for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, (H)“Let light shine out of darkness,” (I)has shone in our hearts to give (J)the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

English Standard Version
The New Life
17 Now this I say and (A)testify in the Lord, (B)that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, (C)in the futility of their minds. 18 They (D)are darkened in their understanding, (E)alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to (F)their hardness of heart. 19 They (G)have become callous and (H)have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you (I)learned Christ!—

Romans 1:21-32
English Standard Version
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they (A)became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 (B)Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and (C)exchanged the glory of (D)the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore (E)God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to (F)the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for (G)a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, (H)who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason (I)God gave them up to (J)dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, (K)men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, (L)God gave them up to (M)a debased mind to do (N)what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know (O)God's righteous decree that those who practice such things (P)deserve to die, they not only do them but (Q)give approval to those who practice them.
