25 essi, che hanno mutato la verità di Dio in menzogna, e hanno adorato e servito la creatura invece del Creatore, che è benedetto in eterno. Amen.

Romani 1:25 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:25

Who changed the truth of God into a lie
Not the truth of the Gospel, which they were unacquainted with; but that which might be known of God as true, and was known of them by the light of nature; or the true God himself, whom they "changed into a lie"; by ascribing to false deities, which were lying vanities, those things which were known of God; and by worshipping them instead of him: for they

worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator;
or "above him" or "against him", in opposition to him, or "besides him", others along with him; or neglecting him, and not worshipping him at all; which is aggravated in that what they worshipped was a creature, either of their own, or of God's making, and whom they neglected was the Creator of them:

who is blessed for ever, Amen;
is blessed in himself, and the fountain of all blessedness to his creatures; which is so glaring a truth, that everyone ought to say and set his "Amen" to it.

Romani 1:25 In-Context

23 e hanno mutato la gloria dell’incorruttibile Iddio in immagini simili a quelle dell’uomo corruttibile, e d’uccelli e di quadrupedi e di rettili.

24 Per questo, Iddio li ha abbandonati, nelle concupiscenze de’ loro cuori, alla impurità, perché vituperassero fra loro i loro corpi;

25 essi, che hanno mutato la verità di Dio in menzogna, e hanno adorato e servito la creatura invece del Creatore, che è benedetto in eterno. Amen.

26 Perciò Iddio li ha abbandonati a passioni infami: poiché le loro femmine hanno mutato l’uso naturale in quello che è contro natura,

27 e similmente anche i maschi, lasciando l’uso naturale della donna, si sono infiammati nella loro libidine gli uni per gli altri, commettendo uomini con uomini cose turpi, e ricevendo in loro stessi la condegna mercede del proprio traviamento.
