Romans 1:17-32

17For in it 1the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 2from faithG4102 to faithG4102; as it is writtenG1125: “34But the righteousG1342 one will liveG2198 by faithG4102.”

18For 5the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 from heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 and unrighteousnessG93 of peopleG444 who 6suppressG2722 the truthG225 7in unrighteousnessG93, 19becauseG1360 8that whichG1110 isG1110 knownG1110 about GodG2316 is evidentG5318 9withinG1722 them; for GodG2316 madeG5319 it evidentG5319 to them. 20For 10sinceG575 the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 His invisibleG517 attributes, that is, His eternalG126 powerG1411 and divineG2305 natureG2305, have been clearlyG2529 perceivedG2529, 11being understoodG3539 by whatG4161 hasG4161 beenG4161 madeG4161, soG1519 thatG1519 they are withoutG379 excuseG379. 21For even though they knewG1097 GodG2316, they did not 12honorG1392 Him as GodG2316 orG2228 giveG2168 thanksG2168, but they becameG3154 13futileG3154 in their reasoningsG1261, and their senselessG801 heartsG2588 were darkenedG4654. 2214ClaimingG5335 to be wiseG4680, they becameG3471 foolsG3471, 23and they 15exchangedG236 the gloryG1391 of the incorruptibleG862 GodG2316 for an imageG1504 in the formG3667 of corruptibleG5349 mankindG444, of birdsG4071, four-footedG5074 animalsG5074, and 16crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062.

24ThereforeG1352 17GodG2316 gaveG3860 them upG3860 to vileG167 impurityG167 in the lustsG1939 of their heartsG2588, so that their bodiesG4983 would be 18dishonoredG818 amongG1722 them. 25For they exchangedG3337 the truthG225 of GodG2316 for 1920falsehoodG5579, and worshipedG4573 and servedG3000 the creatureG2937 ratherG3844 thanG3844 the CreatorG2936, 21whoG3739 is blessedG2128 22foreverG165. AmenG281.

26For thisG3778 reasonG1223 23GodG2316 gaveG3860 them overG3860 to 24degradingG819 passionsG3806; for their womenG2338 exchangedG3337 naturalG5446 relationsG5540 for that which is contraryG3844 to natureG5449, 27and likewiseG3668 the menG733, tooG2532, abandonedG863 naturalG5446 relationsG5540 25with womenG2338 and burnedG1572 in their desireG3715 towardG1519 oneG240 anotherG240, 26malesG733 with malesG733 committingG2716 27shamefulG808 actsG808 and receivingG618 in 28their ownG1438 personsG1438 the dueG1163 penaltyG489 of their errorG4106.

28And justG2531 asG2531 they did not seeG1381 fitG1381 29to acknowledgeG2192G1922 GodG2316, 30GodG2316 gaveG3860 them upG3860 to a depravedG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 thoseG3588 things that areG2520 not properG2520, 29people having been filledG4137 with allG3956 unrighteousnessG93, wickednessG4189, greedG4124, and evilG2549; fullG3324 of envyG5355, murderG5408, strifeG2054, deceitG1388, and maliceG2550; they are 31gossipsG5588, 30slanderersG2637, 3233hatersG2319 ofG2319 GodG2319, insolentG5197, arrogantG5244, boastfulG213, inventorsG2182 of evilG2556, 34disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, 31withoutG801 understandingG801, untrustworthyG802, 35unfeelingG794, and unmercifulG415; 32and although they knowG1921 the ordinanceG1345 of GodG2316, that thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108 are worthyG514 of 36deathG2288, they not onlyG3440 doG4160 the sameG846, but alsoG2532 37approveG4909 of thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 them.
