Romans 1:21-28

21Because, knowingG1097 1GodG2316, they glorifiedG1392 [him] not as 2GodG2316, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughtsG1261, and their heartG2588 without understandingG801 was darkenedG4654:

22professing themselves to beG1510 wiseG4680, they becameG3471 fools,

23and changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the incorruptible 3GodG2316 into [the] likenessG3667 of an imageG1504 of corruptible manG444 and of birdsG4071 and quadrupeds and reptiles.

24Wherefore 4GodG2316 gave them up [also] in the lustsG1939 of their heartsG2588 to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodiesG4983 between themselves:

25who changed the truthG225 of 5GodG2316 into falsehoodG5579, and honoured and servedG3000 the creature more than him who had created [it], who isG1510 blessed for ever. AmenG281.

26For this reason 6GodG2316 gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the naturalG5446 use into that contraryG3844 to natureG5449;

27and in like manner the males alsoG2532, leavingG863 the naturalG5446 use of the femaleG2338, were inflamed in their lust towards oneG240 another; males with males working shameG808, and receivingG618 in themselves the recompense of their errorG4106 which was fit.

28And according as they did not think good to have 7GodG2316 in [their] knowledgeG1922, 8GodG2316 gave them up to a reprobate mindG3563 to practise unseemly things;
