Romans 1:23-32
23and they 1exchangedG236 the gloryG1391 of the incorruptibleG862 GodG2316 for an imageG1504 in the formG3667 of corruptibleG5349 mankindG444, of birdsG4071, four-footedG5074 animalsG5074, and 2crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062.
24ThereforeG1352 3GodG2316 gaveG3860 them upG3860 to vileG167 impurityG167 in the lustsG1939 of their heartsG2588, so that their bodiesG4983 would be 4dishonoredG818 amongG1722 them. 25For they exchangedG3337 the truthG225 of GodG2316 for 56falsehoodG5579, and worshipedG4573 and servedG3000 the creatureG2937 ratherG3844 thanG3844 the CreatorG2936, 7whoG3739 is blessedG2128 8foreverG165. AmenG281.
26For thisG3778 reasonG1223 9GodG2316 gaveG3860 them overG3860 to 10degradingG819 passionsG3806; for their womenG2338 exchangedG3337 naturalG5446 relationsG5540 for that which is contraryG3844 to natureG5449, 27and likewiseG3668 the menG733, tooG2532, abandonedG863 naturalG5446 relationsG5540 11with womenG2338 and burnedG1572 in their desireG3715 towardG1519 oneG240 anotherG240, 12malesG733 with malesG733 committingG2716 13shamefulG808 actsG808 and receivingG618 in 14their ownG1438 personsG1438 the dueG1163 penaltyG489 of their errorG4106.
28And justG2531 asG2531 they did not seeG1381 fitG1381 15to acknowledgeG2192G1922 GodG2316, 16GodG2316 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 17gossipsG5588, 30slanderersG2637, 1819hatersG2319 ofG2319 GodG2319, insolentG5197, arrogantG5244, boastfulG213, inventorsG2182 of evilG2556, 20disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, 31withoutG801 understandingG801, untrustworthyG802, 21unfeelingG794, and unmercifulG415; 32and although they knowG1921 the ordinanceG1345 of GodG2316, that thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108 are worthyG514 of 22deathG2288, they not onlyG3440 doG4160 the sameG846, but alsoG2532 23approveG4909 of thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 them.
