For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.

The LORD made the earth by his power, and he preserves it by his wisdom. With his own understanding he stretched out the heavens.

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.

Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts.
