Bible Note: THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE (Romans 1:20 NASB Emphasis added.) "So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification]" (Rom. 1:20b AMPLIFIED) Romans 1:20-23 The Amplified Bible 20For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification], 21Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened. 22Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves]. 23And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal man and birds and beasts and reptiles. ____________________ THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; (NASB Romans 3:11b) ____________________ AMPLIFIED Psalm 14:2-3 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any who understood, dealt wisely, and sought after God, inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him [of vital necessity]. They are all gone aside, they have all together become filthy; there is none that does good or right, no, not one. [Rom. 3:11, 12.] AMPLIFIED Romans 3:11 No one understands [no one intelligently discerns or comprehends]; no one seeks out God. [Ps. 14:2.] |
