Because what isg known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested it to them,

JND Translation Notes

+
g
Or "may be." The Greek word here is used for "may be known." What is spoken of here is "knowledge acquirable by nature in contrast with revelation," it means what is within the capacity of man's apprehension. But "is known" sufficiently represents that and is more exact.

W. Kelly Translation

Because what may be knowna of God is manifest among themb, for God made [it] manifest to them.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Τo know (gnōston) means here, I think, not the knowledge or what was known of God, but as the English, "that which may be known" of Him. It is the knowable, rather than the known. The evidence was ample and distinct, but their eyes were dull.
b
I see no sufficient ground to take the phrase in an emphatic sense, but in one more general. It is expressly an objective character of knowledge which lay open in the midst; and this is confirmed by the added intimation "for God manifested it to them," not the action of conscience, which finds its more appropriate place in chapter 2 where moral perception and conduct is discussed.
