Romans 1:22-29

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.

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.
