Romanos 1:22 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:22

Professing themselves to be wise
The learned men among the Gentiles first called themselves (sofoi) , "Sophi", wise men: and afterwards, to cover their wretched pride and vanity, (filosofoi) , "Philosophers", lovers of wisdom; but notwithstanding all their arrogance, their large pretensions to wisdom, and boast of it

they became fools;
they appeared to be so; they showed themselves to be such in those very things they prided themselves with the knowledge of: as, for instance, Socrates, after he had asserted the unity of God, and is said to die a martyr for the truth; yet one of the last actions of his life was sacrificing a cock to Aesculapius, at least he desired his friend Crito to do it.

Romanos 1:22 In-Context

20 Porque desde la creaci贸n del mundo las cualidades invisibles de Dios, es decir, su eterno poder y su naturaleza divina, se perciben claramente a trav茅s de lo que 茅l cre贸, de modo que nadie tiene excusa.
21 A pesar de haber conocido a Dios, no lo glorificaron como a Dios ni le dieron gracias, sino que se extraviaron en sus in煤tiles razonamientos, y se les oscureci贸 su insensato coraz贸n.
22 Aunque afirmaban ser sabios, se volvieron necios
23 y cambiaron la gloria del Dios inmortal por im谩genes que eran r茅plicas del hombre mortal, de las aves, de los cuadr煤pedos y de los reptiles.
24 Por eso Dios los entreg贸 a los malos deseos de sus corazones, que conducen a la impureza sexual, de modo que degradaron sus cuerpos los unos con los otros.
