Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬, ‭25‬-‭27‬

 “People knew God, but they did not honor him as God, and they did not thank him. Their ideas were all useless. There was not one good thought left in their foolish minds.

They traded the truth of God for a lie. They bowed down and worshiped the things God made instead of worshiping the God who made those things. He is the one who should be praised forever. Amen. 

Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things they wanted to do. Women stopped having natural sex with men and started having sex with other women. 

In the same way, men stopped having natural sex with women and began wanting each other all the time. Men did shameful things with other men, and in their bodies they received the punishment for those wrongs.”

Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬

 “There are things about God that people cannot see—his eternal power and all that makes him God. But since the beginning of the world, those things have been easy for people to understand. They are made clear in what God has made. So people have no excuse for the evil they do.”

Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭17‬

 “I am proud of the Good News, because it is the power God uses to save everyone who believes—to save the Jews first, and now to save those who are not Jews. 

The Good News shows how God makes people right with himself. God’s way of making people right begins and ends with faith. As the Scriptures say, “The one who is right with God by faith will live forever.””

Acts‬ ‭28‬:‭27‬

 “Yes, the minds of these people are now closed. They have ears, but they don’t listen. They have eyes, but they refuse to see. If their minds were not closed, they might see with their eyes; they might hear with their ears; they might understand with their minds. Then they might turn back to me and be healed.’ Isaiah 6:9-10”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭28‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭

 “Publius’ father was very sick. He had a fever and dysentery, but Paul went to him and prayed for him. He laid his hands on the man and healed him. 

After this happened, all the other sick people on the island came to Paul, and he healed them too.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭28‬:‭3‬-‭6‬

 “Paul gathered a pile of sticks for the fire. He was putting the sticks on the fire, and a poisonous snake came out because of the heat and bit him on the hand. 

When the people living on the island saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said, “This man must be a murderer! He did not die in the sea, but Justice does not want him to live.” 

But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and was not hurt. The people thought he would swell up or fall down dead. 

They waited and watched him for a long time, but nothing bad happened to him. So they changed their opinion. They said, “He is a god!””
