20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, ^ohave been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,¹ in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but ^pthey became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse ^vor even excuse them 16 on that ^wday when, according to my gospel, ^xGod judges the secrets of men ^yby Christ Jesus.
