21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach¹ to save those who believe.

5 not in ^mthe passion of lust ⁿlike the Gentiles ^owho do not know God;

8 ^min flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those ⁿwho do not know God and on those who ^odo not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

8 ^lAnyone who does not love does not know God, because ^mGod is love.
