Romans 1:21
Hii ni kwa sababu, ingawa walijua kuhusu Mungu, hawakumtukuza yeye kama Mungu, wala hawakumpa shukrani. Badala yake, wamekuwa wapumbavu katika mawazo yao, na mioyo yao yenye ujinga ilitiwa giza.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.

In context
18 Maana ghadhabu ya Mungu imedhihirishwa kutoka mbinguni dhidi ya uasi na uovu wote wa watu, ambao kwa njia ya udhalimu huificha kweli.
19 Hii ni kwa sababu, yote yanayoweza kujulikana juu ya Mungu ni wazi kwao. Maana Mungu amewafahamisha.
20 Maana mambo yake yasioonekana vizuri yamekuwa wazi tangu kuumbwa kwa ulimwengu. Yanaeleweka kupitia vitu vilivyoumbwa. Mambo haya ni uwezo wake wa milele na asili ya uungu. Matokeo yake, watu hawa hawana udhuru.
21 Hii ni kwa sababu, ingawa walijua kuhusu Mungu, hawakumtukuza yeye kama Mungu, wala hawakumpa shukrani. Badala yake, wamekuwa wapumbavu katika mawazo yao, na mioyo yao yenye ujinga ilitiwa giza.
22 Walijiita kuwa ni werevu, lakini wakawa wajinga.
23 Waliubadili utukufu wa Mungu asie na uharibifu kwa mfano wa sura ya binadamu aliye na uharibifu, na ya ndege, ya wanyama wenye miguu minne, na ya viumbe vitambaavyo.
24 Kwa hiyo Mungu aliwaacha wafuate tamaa za mioyo yao kwa uchafu, kwa miili yao kufedheheshwa baina yao.
