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

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. | For they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper. |

You have not lied to men, but to God.” |

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. | But He knows the way I take; When He has put me to the test, I will come out as gold.
