他在從前的世代，任憑萬國各行其道；

他在從前的世代，任憑萬國各行其道；

In past generations He permitted all the nations to go their own ways;

who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.

who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.

In past generations He allowed all the nations to go their own way,

Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own ways,

who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.Although they claimed to be wise, they became foolsand exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator— who is forever praised. Amen. (niv)
