God!

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, it is God's power to save all who believe. For the Gospel reveals how God puts men right with himself, ii is through faith alone, from beginning to end

God's wrath is revealed coming down from heaven upon all the sin and evil of men, whose evil ways prevent the truth from being known. God punishes them because what men can know about God is plain to them. God himself made it plain to them. Ever since God created the world. His invisible qualities, both His eternal power and His divine nature, have been clearly seen. Men can perceive them in the things that God has made. So they have no excuse at all! They know God, but they do not give Him the honour that belongs to Him, nor do they thank Him. Instead their thoughts have become complete nonsense and their empty minds are filled with darkness. They say they are wise, but they are fools; instead of worshipping the immortal God, they worship images made to look like mortal man or birds of animals or reptiles.

Because men are such fools, God has given them over to do the filthy things, and they do the filthy things their hearts desire, and they do shameful things with each other. They exchange the truth about God for lies, they worship and serve what God has created instead of the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever! Amen.

Because of what men do, God has given them over to shameful passions. Even the women pervert the natural use of their sex by unnatural acts. In the same way the men give up natural sexual relations with women and burn with passion for each other. Men do shameful things with each other, and as a result they receive in themselves the punishment they deserve for their wrongdoing.

Because men refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted minds, so that they do the things that they should not. They are filled with all kinds of wickedness, evil, greed and vice; they are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, deceit and malice. They gossip and speak evil of one another; they are hateful to God, insolent, proud, and boastful, they think of more ways to do evil; they disobey their parents; they are immoral; they do not keep their promises, and they show no kindness or pity to others. They know that God's law says that people who live in this way deserve death. Yet they continue to do these very things — and worse still, they approve of others who do them also.
