Paul’s Letter To The Romans
16 - I’m not ashamed of the gospel, for it’s the power of God to salvation to everyone believing, to the Jew/Hebrew first, and also to the Greek/all others. 17 For in it, the righteousness [dikaiosuné - from dikaios - righteous, just, upright; righteousness, justice] {total fairness} of God is made known from faith to faith, as it was written, the righteous shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God {as cause and effect, results, consequences} is revealed from heaven against ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress [the American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition gives three meanings for suppress - “(1) to put an end to forcibly, as in suppress a rebellion - (2) to curtail or prohibit the activities of, as in suppress dissident groups - (3) to keep from being revealed, published, or circulated”] {to prohibit} the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain, because God has shown it, 20 for his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, since the creation of the world, in all that has been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they know God is, they do not honor him as God, nor give thanks to him. But they become futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts are darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they become fools. 23 And they exchange the glory of the immortal God, into the likeness of an image of mortal/carnal man, or of birds, animals, and creeping things.
