Romans 1:21-32 Because, though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, neither gave him thanks; but became foolish by their own reasonings, and their inconsiderate heart was darkened.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ Because, though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, neither gave him thanks; but became foolish by their own reasonings, and their inconsiderate heart was darkened. ²² Professing to be wise men, they became fools: ²³ for they changed the glory of the immortal God into the likeness of an image of mortal man, of fowls, or four-footed beasts, and of reptiles. ²⁴ Therefore, also, God, through the lusts of their own hearts, delivered them over to uncleanness, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves. ²⁵ Who changed the truth concerning God, into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is forever blessed. Amen. ²⁶ For this, God delivered them over to shameful passions; for even their females changed the natural use unto what is contrary to nature. ²⁷ In like manner, also, the males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust toward one another, males with males, working out that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due. ²⁸ And as they did not like to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to an undiscerning mind, to work those things which are not suitable; ²⁹ being filled with all injustice, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, bad habits, whisperers, ³⁰ revilers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil pleasure, disobedient to parents, ³¹ impudent, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful. ³² Some, who clearly understand the law of God, (that they who practice such things are worthy of death,) not only do these things, but even commend those who practice them.
