Romans 116-2316I am not ashamed of the gospel,
because it is the power of God for the salvation
of everyone who believes first for the Jew, then
for the Gentile. 17For in the gospel a
righteousness from God is revealed, a
righteousness that is by faith from first to
last, just as it is written "The righteous will
live by faith."18The wrath of God is being
revealed from heaven against all the godlessness
and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by
their wickedness, 19since what may be known about
God is plain to them, because God has made it
plain to them. 20For since the creation of the
world God's invisible qualitieshis eternal power
and divine naturehave been clearly seen, being
understood from what has been made, so that men
are without excuse.21For although they knew
God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave
thanks to him, but their thinking became futile
and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22Although they claimed to be wise, they became
fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal
God for images made to look like mortal man and
birds and animals and reptiles.

you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to
become a prostitute. You lavished your favors on
anyone who passed by and your beauty became his
17 You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the
jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made
for yourself male idols and engaged in
prostitution with them and you offered my oil
and incense before them. ? ? ? ? 16 15 ? ? ? ?

2. The Severity of Gods Wrath
Two aspects of Gods wrath Isaiah 63 Blood
Shedding1 Who is this coming from Edom,       
from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?
       Who is this, robed in splendor,       
striding forward in the greatness of his
strength?        "It is I, speaking in
righteousness,        mighty to save."  2 Why
are your garments red,        like those of one
treading the winepress? 3 "I have trodden the
winepress alone        from the nations no one
was with me.        I trampled them in my anger
       and trod them down in my wrath       
their blood spattered my garments,        and I
stained all my clothing. 4 For the day of
vengeance was in my heart,        and the year
of my redemption has come.
