1:23 将不能朽坏之 神的荣耀、变为偶像、彷彿必朽坏的人、和飞禽走兽昆虫的样式。
1:24 所以 神任凭他们、逞着心里的情欲行污秽的事、以致彼此玷辱自己的身体。
1:25 他们将 神的真实变为虚谎、去敬拜事奉受造之物、不敬奉那造物的主。主乃是可称颂的、直到永远。阿们。《圣经.罗马书》
评论:
1:23节,他们根据自己属血肉的理性 所能理解的 来想象(捏造)一位 上主,所以他们根本没有认识真 上主。他们乃是虚构一个新的上主,或者说是一个幻影来代替 上主。这就是保罗说的“将不能朽坏之 神的荣耀变为偶像”(把神的荣耀改变了,所以他们离弃了 上主)。祭司、政治家、哲学家甚至最贤明如柏拉图者 都在探索 神的形象,他们这种佞妄的邪恶是无人可得赦免的。。
约翰·加尔文
———
<22> They said they were wise, but they became fools. <23> Instead of honoring the divine greatness of God, who lives forever, they traded it for the worship of idols—things made to look like humans, who get sick and die, or like birds, animals, and snakes.
<24> People wanted only to do evil. So God left them and let them go their sinful way. And so they became completely immoral and used their bodies in shameful ways with each other. <25> They traded the truth of God for a lie. They bowed down and worshiped the things God made instead of worshiping the God who made those things. He is the one who should be praised forever. Amen.
