“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So people are without excuse. Natural revelation through creation affords genuine knowledge of God: his eternal power (aidios dynamis) and divine nature (theiotēs) are visible to those who observe the cosmos. Clearly seen and understood employ sensory and intellectual language to emphasize the accessibility and clarity of this knowledge. Consequently, all humanity stands without excuse (anapologētos)—they cannot claim ignorance.
