n
"Senseless men" has the article here, as showing that it is not "some men who are foolish," but that men (not Christians) are so, are known in that character. It is the character of all who are pointed out by the name of "men." It is somewhat wider than "Gentiles," ver. 12.

a
Here it may be noticed that "senseless" is not limited to such as reviled Christ as evil doers. For the apostle really speaks of men as a whole, and declares the race as such senseless. The phrase imports nothing less.
