Spiritual Death

  Lord, that you walk no longer just as the
  Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their
  mind, 18being darkened in their understanding,
  excluded from the life of God because of the
  ignorance that is in them, because of the
  hardness of their heart 19and they, having
  become callous, have given themselves over to
  sensuality for the practice of every kind of
  impurity with greediness.

Romans 116-32

• 16? For I am not ashamed of the good news of the
  Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation
  to every one who is believing, both to Jew first,
  and to Greek. 17?For the righteousness of God in
  it is revealed from faith to faith, according as
  it hath been written, "And the righteous one by
  faith shall live,"18?for revealed is the wrath of
  God from heaven upon all impiety and
  unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in
  unrighteousness.

Romans 116-32

• 19? Because that which is known of God is
  manifest among them, for God did manifest it to
  them, 20?for the invisible things of Him from the
  creation of the world, by the things made being
  understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal
  power and Godhead - to their being inexcusable
  21?because, having known God they did not glorify
  Him as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain
  in their reasonings, and their unintelligent
  heart was darkened,

5
Romans 116-32

• 22?professing to be wise, they were made fools,
  23?and changed the glory of the incorruptible God
  into the likeness of an image of corruptible man,

• 24?Wherefore also God did give them up, in the
  desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to
  dishonour their bodies among themselves

Romans 116-32

• 25?who did change the truth of God into a
  falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature
  rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the
  ages. Amen. 26?Because of this did God give them
  up to dishonourable affections, for even their
  females did change the natural use into that
  against nature 27?and in like manner also the
  males having left the natural use of the female,
  did burn in their longing toward one another
  males with males working shame, and the
  recompense of their error that was fit, in
  themselves receiving.

Romans 116-32

• 28?And, according as they did not approve of
  having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a
  disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly
  29?having been filled with all unrighteousness,
  whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice full
  of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil
  dispositions whisperers, 30?evil-speakers,
  God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors
  of evil things, disobedient to parents,

8
Romans 116-32

• 31?unintelligent, faithless, without natural
  affection, implacable, unmerciful 32?who the
  righteous judgment of God having known -that
  those practising such things are worthy of death
  - not only do them, but also have delight with
  those practising them.
