所以人是已经知道神的，但是却不把他当做神来荣耀他，也不感谢他；相反，他们在思想上变得虚妄，他们无知的心就昏暗了。

因为，他们虽然知道神，却不当作神荣耀他，也不感谢他。他们的思念变为虚妄，无知的心就昏暗了。

因为，他们虽然知道上帝，却不把他当作上帝荣耀他，也不感谢他。他们的思想变为虚妄，无知的心昏暗了。

因为，他们虽然知道神，却不把他当作神荣耀他，也不感谢他。他们的思想变为虚妄，无知的心昏暗了。

他们虽然明知有上帝，却不把祂当作上帝，既不将荣耀归给祂，也不感谢祂。他们的思想因此变得荒谬无用，无知的心也变得昏暗不明。

因为他们虽然知道神，却不尊他为神，也不感谢他，反而心思变为虚妄，愚顽的心就迷糊了。

他們雖然明知有上帝，卻不把祂當作上帝，既不將榮耀歸給祂，也不感謝祂。他們的思想因此變得荒謬無用，無知的心也變得昏暗不明。

因為他們雖然知道神，卻不尊他為神，也不感謝他，反而心思變為虛妄，愚頑的心就迷糊了。

因為他們雖然認識上帝，卻不看他為上帝而榮耀他，也不感謝他，反倒在思想上成為虛妄，他們蒙昧的心就昏暗了。

顧彼既知上帝、而不以上帝榮之、亦不謝之、乃思議虛妄、心蠢而昧、

顧彼既知上帝、猶不以上帝尊之謝之、乃志意虛妄、心頑蒙昧、

彼雖知天主、不以天主尊之、亦不謝之、乃思念虛妄、心以頑而愈昧、

夫既知有天主矣乃又不以天主事之、而頌詠稱謝焉；復因鑿空蹈虛、流連忘返、以致其冥頑之心、淪於重昏。

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

They knew God. But they didn’t honor him as God. They didn’t thank him. Their thinking became worthless. Their foolish hearts became dark.

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.

For though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became worthless, and their senseless hearts were darkened.

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened.

because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened.

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.

For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

所以，我这样说，并且在主里忠告：你们行事不要再像外邦人那样，在自己虚妄的理性中行事；他们的意念变为黑暗，因着那在自己里面的愚昧无知和心里的刚硬，就与神的生命隔绝了；

那献上感谢为祭的，就是荣耀我；那使自己道路正直的，我必使他得见神的救恩。”

他大声说：“你们当敬畏神，把荣耀归给他，因为他审判的时候到了。你们当敬拜造了天、地、海和众水泉源的那一位。”

但你们属于蒙拣选的族类、君王的祭司体系、圣洁的国度，是属神的子民；为要使你们宣扬曾召唤你们的那一位的美德——他召唤你们出黑暗，入他奇妙的光明。

主啊！谁能不敬畏、不荣耀你的名呢？因为只有你是圣洁的，因为万民都要来，在你面前敬拜，因为你公义的规定已经显明了。”

我就任凭他们心里顽固，随自己的计谋而行。

因为你们知道，你们被救赎，脱离祖先所传下来的虚妄行为，不是凭着会朽坏的东西，如银子或金子，

因为人们将会爱自己、爱钱财，又自夸、又骄傲，亵渎神、悖逆父母、忘恩负义、毫不圣洁、

实际上，有关神的事，人所能知道的，在他们里面是清清楚楚的，因为神已经向他们显明了。

“所定的罪是这样的：光来到了世界，人们却因自己的行为邪恶，不喜爱光，反喜爱黑暗。

耶和华看到人在地上罪恶深重，而且人心里的每个意念动机终日都是邪恶的。

主啊，你所造的万国都要来，在你面前下拜，他们必荣耀你的名。

看哪，我只发现了一件事，就是神造人原是正直的，但人却寻找许多诡计。”

耶和华闻到了那馨香之气，就心里说：“我绝不再因人的缘故诅咒这地，尽管人从年幼时就心怀邪恶；我也绝不再像我曾做的，毁灭所有的活物。

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。

让他们的眼睛昏暗不能看。让他们的腰背永远弯曲。”

塑造偶像的全都虚空，他们所喜爱的毫无益处；为偶像本身作见证的，一无所见，一无所知，他们都必蒙羞。谁塑造了神像、铸造了毫无益处的偶像呢？看哪！与他同伙的也必蒙羞，因为工匠自己也不过是人。让他们聚集、站立吧！他们都必惧怕、蒙羞！铁匠用工具在炭火上工作，用锤子打造偶像，用有力的膀臂工作；他也会因饥饿而无力，因不喝水而疲乏。木匠拉准绳，用笔画出偶像的样子，用刨子刨成形状，用圆规画出轮廓，把偶像做成人的样式，像人那样的美丽，好住在庙里。他为自己砍伐香柏树；他选取柏树或橡树，让它在树林中茁壮成长；他又栽种松树，让它靠雨水长大；这些树可以给人作燃料。他拿一些来生火取暖，还用来烧火烤饼；他也用这些树制作神像来下拜，制造雕像来膜拜。他用一半的木头烧火，在其上做肉吃；他烤肉、吃饱，又自己取暖，说：“啊哈，我暖和了！我感到火热了。”他用剩下的一半做了一个神像，就是他雕刻的偶像，然后向它俯伏下拜，又向它祷告，说：“求你救我，因为你是我的神。”这样的人不明白，也不领悟，因为耶和华蒙蔽他们的眼使他们不能看见，蒙蔽他们的心使他们不能明悟。他们不反思，也没有知识和聪慧来说：“我用一半的木头烧火，又在火炭上烘饼，烤肉吃。我怎么能用剩下的木头制造可憎之物呢？我怎么能向一块木头膜拜呢？”他们追求的只是灰烬；他们的心受了迷惑，使他们偏离正道；他们不能救自己，也不会说：“我右手中的，难道不是虚谎之物吗？”

并且使外邦人因着所蒙的怜悯而荣耀神，正如经上所记：“为此，我要在外邦人中承认你，歌颂你的名。”

看哪！黑暗遮盖大地，幽暗遮盖万民，但耶和华必在你上面升起，他的荣耀必显现在你身上。

为了开启他们的眼睛，使他们从黑暗归向光明，从撒旦的权势下归向神，使他们因着信我，罪得赦免，并且与那些被分别为圣的人同得继业。’

其中有一个人看见自己得了痊愈，就回来大声地荣耀神，并且把脸伏在耶稣脚前，感谢他。这人是个撒马利亚人。耶稣回答说：“被洁净的不是有十个人吗？另外九个在哪里呢？除了这个外邦人，难道没有人回来把荣耀归给神吗？”
