Romans 1:23-25 and exchanged the honor belonging to the immortal God for the statues of mortal men, and birds, and animals and reptiles.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ and exchanged the honor belonging to the immortal God for the statues of mortal men, and birds, and animals and reptiles. ²⁴ So, God allowed [or, abandoned] them to have the impure desires of their hearts, and to [practice] degrading behavior with their bodies among themselves. ²⁵ For they exchanged God’s truth for the [devil’s] lie, and worshiped and served what was created instead of the Creator, who is to be praised forever. May it be so.
