Romans 1:23 in Context — Romans 1

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.

24 C’est pourquoi Dieu les a livrés à l’impureté, selon les convoitises de leurs cœurs; en sorte qu’ils déshonorent eux-mêmes leurs propres corps;

25 eux qui ont changé la vérité de Dieu en mensonge, et qui ont adoré et servi la créature au lieu du Créateur, qui est béni éternellement. Amen!
