Scripture

  1. Psalm 14:1 [1]
    The Fool Says, There Is No God To the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. (ESV)
  2. Romans 1:20–21 [2]
    For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 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. (ESV)
  3. Psalm 81:11 [3]
    “But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. (ESV)
  4. Romans 1:25 [4]
    because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. (ESV)
