Romans 1:24-32

24Therefore 1God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be 2dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for 3a 4lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, 5who is blessed 6forever. Amen.

26For this reason 7God gave them over to 8degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is 9unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, 10men with men committing 11indecent acts and receiving in 12their own persons the due penalty of their error.

28And just as they did not see fit 13to acknowledge God any longer, 14God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are 15gossips, 30slanderers, 1617haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, 18disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, 19unloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of 20death, they not only do the same, but also 21give hearty approval to those who practice them.
