Romans 1:17-32

17For therein is revealedG601 a righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 from faithG4102 unto faithG4102: as it is writtenG1125, But the righteousG1342 shall liveG2198 by faithG4102.

18For the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 from heavenG3772 against all ungodlinessG763 and unrighteousnessG93 of menG444, who hinder the truthG225 in unrighteousnessG93; 19because that which isG1510 known of GodG2316 isG1510 manifestG5319 in them; for GodG2316 manifestedG5319 it unto them. 20For the invisibleG517 things of him since the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 areG1510 clearly seen, beingG1510 perceived through the things that areG1510 made, evenG2532 his everlasting powerG1411 and divinity; that they may beG1510 without excuse: 21because that, knowingG1097 GodG2316, they glorifiedG1392 him not as GodG2316, neither gaveG2168 thanksG2168; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heartG2588 was darkenedG4654. 22Professing themselves to beG1510 wiseG4680, they becameG3471 fools, 23and changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the incorruptible GodG2316 for the likenessG3667 of an imageG1504 of corruptible manG444, and of birdsG4071, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

24Wherefore GodG2316 gave them up in the lustsG1939 of their heartsG2588 unto uncleanness, that their bodiesG4983 should be dishonoredG818 among themselves: 25for that they exchanged the truthG225 of GodG2316 for a lieG5579, and worshipped and servedG3000 the creature rather than the Creator, who isG1510 blessed for ever. AmenG281.

26For this cause GodG2316 gave them up unto vile passionsG3806: for their women changed the naturalG5446 use into that which is against natureG5449: 27and likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the men, leavingG863 the naturalG5446 use of the woman, burned in their lust oneG240 toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receivingG618 in themselves that recompense of their errorG4106 which was due.

28And evenG2532 as they refused to have GodG2316 intheirknowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gave them up unto a reprobate mindG3563, to do those things which are not fitting; 29being filledG4137 with all unrighteousnessG93, wickednessG4189, covetousnessG4124, maliciousness; fullG3324 of envyG5355, murderG5408, strifeG2054, deceitG1388, malignity; whisperers, 30backbiters, hateful to God, insolentG5197, haughty, boastfulG213, inventors of evilG2556 thingsG2556, disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, 31without understandingG801, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: 32who, knowing the ordinance of GodG2316, that they that practise suchG5108 thingsG5108 areG1510 worthyG514 of deathG2288, not onlyG3440 do the sameG846, but alsoG2532 consent with them that practise them.
