Romans 1:20-24

20For 1sinceG575 the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 His invisibleG517 attributes, His eternalG126 powerG1411 and divineG2305 natureG2305, have been clearlyG2529 seenG2529, 2being understoodG3539 through whatG4161 hasG4161 beenG4161 madeG4161, soG1519 that they are withoutG379 excuseG379. 21For even though they knewG1097 GodG2316, they did not 3honorG1392 Him as GodG2316 orG2228 giveG2168 thanksG2168, but they becameG3154 4futileG3154 in their speculationsG1261, and their foolishG801 heartG2588 was darkenedG4654. 225ProfessingG5335 to be wiseG4680, they becameG3471 foolsG3471, 23and 6exchangedG236 the gloryG1391 of the incorruptibleG862 GodG2316 for an imageG1504 in the formG3667 of corruptibleG5349 manG444 and of birdsG4071 and four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 and 7crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062.

24ThereforeG1352 8GodG2316 gaveG3860 them overG3860 in the lustsG1939 of their heartsG2588 to impurityG167, soG1519 that their bodiesG4983 would be 9dishonoredG818 amongG1722 them.
