Romans 1:23 in Context — Romans 1

21 Porque, ainda que tenham conhecido Deus, não o glorificaram como Deus, nem foram gratos; em vez disso, perderam o bom senso em seus pensamentos, e seus tolos corações ficaram em trevas.

22 Chamando a si mesmos de sábios, tornaram-se tolos,

23 e trocaram a glória de Deus indestrutível por semelhança de imagem do ser humano destrutível, e de aves, de quadrúpedes, e de répteis.

24 Por isso, Deus os entregou à imundície, nos desejos dos seus corações, para desonrarem os seus corpos entre si.

25 Trocaram a verdade de Deus pela mentira, e adoraram e serviram à criatura mais do que ao Criador, que é bendito eternamente, Amém!
