Context of Romans 1:30
28And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things; 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers, back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful; 32who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them].
