Romans 1:31 In-Context

29 They are filled with every kind of sin, evil, selfishness, and hatred. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst about each other. They gossip

30 and say evil things about each other. They hate God. They are rude and conceited and brag about themselves. They invent ways of doing evil. They do not obey their parents.

31 They are foolish, they do not keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to others.

32 They know God's law says that those who live like this should die. But they themselves not only continue to do these evil things, they applaud others who do them.
