Romans 1:21 in Context — Romans 1
19 car ce qu’on peut connaître de Dieu est manifeste pour eux, Dieu le leur ayant fait connaître.
20 En effet, les perfections invisibles de Dieu, sa puissance éternelle et sa divinité, se voient comme à l’œil, depuis la création du monde, quand on les considère dans ses ouvrages. Ils sont donc inexcusables,
21 puisque ayant connu Dieu, ils ne l’ont point glorifié comme Dieu, et ne lui ont point rendu grâces; mais ils se sont égarés dans leurs pensées, et leur cœur sans intelligence a été plongé dans les ténèbres.
22 Se vantant d’être sages, ils sont devenus fous;
23 et ils ont changé la gloire du Dieu incorruptible en images représentant l’homme corruptible, des oiseaux, des quadrupèdes, et des reptiles.
