25. Who changed the truth of God into a lie--that is, the truth
concerning God into idol falsehood.
and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator--Professing
merely to worship the Creator by means of the creature,
they soon came to lose sight of the Creator in the creature. How
aggravated is the guilt of the Church of Rome, which, under the same
flimsy pretext, does shamelessly what the heathen are here condemned for
doing, and with light which the heathen never had!
who is blessed for ever! Amen--By this doxology the apostle
instinctively relieves the horror which the penning of such things
excited within his breast; an example to such as are called to expose
like dishonor done to the blessed God.
