Romans 1:24-32

24Therefore 1God gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be 2dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for 34falsehood, 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 natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, 27and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations 9with women and burned in their desire toward one another, 10males with males committing 11shameful acts and receiving in 12their own persons the due penalty of their error.

28And just as they did not see fit 13to acknowledge God, 14God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper, 29people having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice; they are 15gossips, 30slanderers, 1617haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, 18disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, 19unfeeling, and 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 21approve of those who practice them.
