로마서 1장 28-32절

 사람들이 하나님을 인정하기를 싫어하므로, 하나님께서는 사람들을 타락한 마음 자리에 내버려 두셔서, 해서는 안될 일을 하도록 놓아 두셨습니다. 사람들은 온갖 불의와 악행과 탐욕과 악의로 가득 차 있으며, 시기와 살의와 분쟁과 사기와 적의로 가득 차 있으며, 수군거리는 자요, 중상하는 자요, 하나님을 미워하는 자요, 불손한 자요, 오만한 자요, 자랑하는 자요, 악을 꾸미는 모략꾼이요, 부모를 거역하는 자요, 우매한 자요, 신의가 없는 자요, 무정한 자요, 무자비한 자입니다. 그들은, 이와 같은 일을 하는 자들은 죽어야 마땅하다는 하나님의 공정한 법도를 알면서도, 자기들만 이런 일을 하는 것이 아니라, 이런 일을 저지르는 사람을 두둔하기까지 합니다.  _새번역성경

そして， 彼らは 神を 認めることを 正しいとしなかったので， 神は 彼らを 正しからぬ 思いにわたし， なすべからざる 事をなすに 任せられた．すなわち， 彼らは， あらゆる 不義と 悪と ·欲と 悪意とにあふれ， ねたみと 殺意と 爭いと 詐欺と 悪念とに 満ち， また， ざん 言する 者，そしる 者， 神を 憎む 者， 不遜な 者， 高慢な 者， 大言壯語する 者， 悪事をたくらむ 者， 親に 逆らう 者となり，無知， 不誠實， 無情， 無慈悲な 者となっている．
彼らは， こうした 事を 行う 者どもが 死に 價するという 神の 定めをよく 知りながら， 自らそれを 行うばかりではなく， それを 行う 者どもを 是認さえしている．_口語訳

  And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them._NASB 

Since they didn’t bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it’s not as if they don’t know better. They know perfectly well they’re spitting in God’s face. And they don’t care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!_The Message
