Romani 1:20 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:20

For the invisible things of him
Not the angels, the invisible inhabitants of heaven: nor the unseen glories of another world; nor the decrees of God; nor the persons in the Godhead; but the perfections of God, or his "properties", as the Arabic version reads it; and which are explained by "his eternal power and Godhead": these,

from the creation of the world are clearly seen;
this is no new discovery, but what men have had, and might, by the light of nature, have enjoyed ever since the world was created; these

being understood,
in an intellectual way, by the discursive faculty of the understanding,

by the things that are made;
the various works of creation; all which proclaim the being, unity, and perfections of God their Creator,

so that they are without excuse;
the very Heathens, who have only the light of nature, and are destitute of a revelation, have no colour or pretext for their idolatrous practices, and vicious lives; nor have they, nor will they have anything to object to God's righteous judgment against them, or why they should not be condemned.

Romani 1:20 In-Context

18 POICHÈ l’ira di Dio si palesa dal cielo sopra ogni empietà, ed ingiustizia degli uomini, i quali ritengono la verità in ingiustizia.
19 Imperocchè, ciò che si può conoscer dì Dio è manifesto in loro, perciocchè Iddio l’ha manifestato loro.
20 Poichè le cose invisibili d’esso, la sua eterna potenza, e deità, essendo fin dalla creazion del mondo intese per le opere sue, si veggono chiaramente, talchè sono inescusabili.
21 Perciocchè, avendo conosciuto Iddio, non però l’hanno glorificato, nè ringraziato, come Dio; anzi sono invaniti nei lor ragionamenti, e l’insensato lor cuore è stato intenebrato.
22 Dicendosi esser savi, son divenuti pazzi.
