And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
