A theme of this Chapter is what happens if anyone creates a false image of Christ and worship that imagined Christ rather than the true Christ. You may think you are a believer but are not.[1]
Also institutions can e created like we see in v25 become idols and seduce people int covetous practices. The socialist state can be a substitute for Religion. It may creep in with small programs where men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other cause the people to curse children, make themselves merchandise through the covetous practice at their neighbors expense.
Even Polybius and all the prophets warned the masses about this degeneration of society because the become covetous.
Christ came to set us free as Abraham and Moses did. We were never to return to the bondage of Egypt.[2]
V25 The word creature from ktisis in the Greek is translated “ordinance” once in the Bible. It is translated creature or creation 17 times. It is defined as ”the act of founding, establishing”. In Mark 16:15 we are told to “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature [institution of mankind]”. People are literally worshiping the governments they institute because the modern Church has failed to preach the Gospel of the kingdom.
V28 v 24 "'Wherefore God also gave them up "' The phrase "gave them up" from "παρέδωκεν] expresses the real active giving up on the part of God." according to Meyer's NT Commentary. The same idea is repeated in Romans 1:28. This is because they have created a false Christ in their minds and engage in idolatry. God does not make sin any more than gravity is said to kill a man when he jumps of a building and hits the side walk.
V29 Wickedness is all an issueCite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

The judgment of God (1:18–32)

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;[3]


19 ¶ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 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.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,[4]


23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. [symbols of power establish by covenants]

24 Wherefore God also gave them up[5] to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [stepping out of the presence of God= adds subjectivity]

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature[6] more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.


26 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:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 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;

  • Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication [metaph. the worship of idols ], wickedness[evil purposes and desires][7], covetousness[8], maliciousness[9]; full of envy[10], murder[11], debate[12], deceit[13], malignity[14]; whisperers[15],

30 Backbiters[defamer][16], haters of God,[17] despiteful[18], proud[19], boasters[20], inventors[ contriver] of evil things[21], disobedient[22] to parents,

31 Without understanding[23], covenantbreakers[24], without natural affection[unsociable][25], implacable[without a treaty or covenant ][26], unmerciful[27]:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
