Romans 1:22

22 For they saying that themselves were wise [Soothly they saying themselves to be wise men], they were made fools.

Romans 1:22 In-Context

20 For the invisible things of him, that be understood, be beheld of the creature of the world, by those things that be made, yea, and the everlasting virtue of him and the Godhead, so that they may not be excused. [For the invisible things of him, of the creature of the world, by those things that be made, understood be beholden, and the everlasting virtue of him, and the Godhead, so that they be unexcusable.]
21 For when they had known God, they glorified him not as God, neither did thankings; but they vanished in their thoughts, and the unwise heart of them was darked [was darked, or made dark].
22 For they saying that themselves were wise [Soothly they saying themselves to be wise men], they were made fools.
23 And they changed the glory of uncorruptible God into the likeness of an image of a deadly man [into the likeness of an image of corruptible man], and of birds, and of four-footed beasts, and of serpents.
24 For which thing God betook them into the desires of their heart, into uncleanness, that they punish with wrongs their bodies in themselves.
