Paul’s further words regarding those who reject God give one pause for thought: “Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish..., even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever.
Pauluse edasised sõnad nende kohta, kes Jumala hülgavad, panevad mõtlema: „Kiites endid targaks, on nad saanud jõledaks. Nemad on Jumala tõe vahetanud vale vastu ja on austanud ning teeninud loodut enam kui Loojat, kes on ülistatud igavesti.
