  • The Sins Of Mankind Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 8, 2024
     | 1,065 views

    When God gives up on humanity, it is left to itself. When man is left to himself, only evil follows.

    1:29 “…being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness…” It seems to me that these are not the first in the list, but a title over the list. “Sexual immorality” is not in more modern versions, following different Greek texts.
