Look closely at the “he” that is
underlined in the following passage, it has a double meaning. It refers to both
the “God in Man” and Man himself.
RO 1:28 Furthermore, since they
did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them
over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become
filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full
of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers,
God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil;
they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless,
ruthless. 32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such
things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also
approve of those who practice them.
