Romans 1:19-20
What is written? (ESV)
For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
What does it say?
God has revealed His invisible attributes and made them plainly evident. In particular, His eternal power and divine nature have been manifested in the creation of the world and all the things He made, so they have no excuse.
What is its immediate context?
Paul’s letter to the Christians living in Rome expressing his eagerness to come there and preach (vs 15). He praises them for their faith being “proclaimed in all the world” (vs 8) and contrasts living by faith (vs 17) with those that know God but have not honored him as God (vs 21).
How Romans 1:19-20 is applied across Bible answers
How do we know God?
Knowing God should be "plain" and "clearly perceived" since God has revealed Himself to all through creation. Not knowing God is inexcusable!
