And even as they did not like to retain God in[ their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

他们既然故意不认识神，神就任凭他们存邪僻的心，行那些不合理的事；

他们既然故意不认识上帝，上帝就任凭他们存扭曲的心，做那些不该做的事，

他们既然故意不认识神，神就任凭他们存扭曲的心，做那些不该做的事，

既然他们故意不认识上帝，上帝就任凭他们心思败坏，做不当做的事。

他们既然故意不认识神，神就任凭他们存着败坏的心，去作那些不正当的事。

既然人不愿意真正认识神，神就任凭他们存败坏的理性，去做那些不该做的事。

他們既然故意不認識神，神就任憑他們存邪僻的心，行那些不合理的事；

他們既然故意不認識上帝，上帝就任憑他們存扭曲的心，做那些不該做的事，

他們既然故意不認識神，神就任憑他們存扭曲的心，做那些不該做的事，

既然他們故意不認識上帝，上帝就任憑他們心思敗壞，做不當做的事。

他們既然故意不認識神，神就任憑他們存著敗壞的心，去作那些不正當的事。

他們怎樣在認識上帝選擇了「無上帝」，上帝就怎樣把他們放給不上選的心思，去行不該行的事；

既然人不願意真正認識神，神就任憑他們存敗壞的理性，去做那些不該做的事。

彼知識中既不願有上帝、上帝遂任其喪心、行非宜之行、

彼既不以上帝存於中、上帝聽其喪心、行所不當行、

彼既不願存天主於念、天主聽其存邪僻之心、行所不當行者、

若輩既冥頑不靈、心棄天主、則天主亦愛莫能助、於是聽其昧心恣行、

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

They didn’t think it was important to know God. So God let them continue to have evil thoughts. They did things they shouldn’t do.

And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.

And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper,

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified[ him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny[ him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Thine habitation[ is] in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

Because the carnal mind[ is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Reprobate silver shall[ men] call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to[ give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak[ this] to your shame.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.What[ is] the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

The fear of the LORD[ is] the beginning of knowledge:[ but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Wherefore[ is there] a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing[ he hath] no heart[ to it]?

For my people[ is] foolish, they have not known me; they[ are] sottish children, and they have none understanding: they[ are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this[ matter].

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
