21  Because, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened: 22  professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23  and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles. 24  Wherefore God gave them up also in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves: 25  who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created it, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26  For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature; 27  and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.
