He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. ...

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
