Romans 1:20
Douay-Rheims
For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable.
Augustine of Hippo
How does Paul mean that they are without excuse, except by reference to a kind of excuse that usually prompts human pride to voice such protestations as: "If only I had known, I would not have done it." … This kind of excuse is taken away from them when a precept is given or when the knowledge of how to avoid sin is made clear to them.
