Romans 1:25
_ _ Who changed the truth of God into a lie — that is, the truth concerning God into idol falsehood.
_ _ and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator — Professing merely to worship the Creator by means of the creature, they soon came to lose sight of the Creator in the creature. How aggravated is the guilt of the Church of Rome, which, under the same flimsy pretext, does shamelessly what the heathen are here condemned for doing, and with light which the heathen never had!
_ _ who is blessed for ever! Amen — By this doxology the apostle instinctively relieves the horror which the penning of such things excited within his breast; an example to such as are called to expose like dishonor done to the blessed God. |

John 2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare [it].

2 Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
1 John 2:15-16 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ... For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
