Romans 1:20–32

²⁰For ^othe invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, ^pbeing understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; ^||so that they are ^qwithout excuse: ²¹Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but ^rbecame ^svain in their imaginations, and their ^tfoolish heart ^swas darkened. ^22uProfessing themselves to be wise, they became fools, ²³And ^vchanged the glory of the uncorruptible God into ^wan image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and ^wfourfooted beasts, and creeping things. ²⁴Wherefore ^xGod also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, ^yto dishonour their own bodies between themselves: ²⁵Who changed ^zthe truth of God into ^aa lie, and worshipped and served the creature ^||more than the Creator, who is ^bblessed for ever. Amen.

²⁶For this cause ^xGod gave them up unto ^cvile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: ²⁷And likewise also ^dthe men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their ^elust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. ²⁸And even as they did not ^flike ^||to retain God in their knowledge, ^xGod gave them over to ^||a reprobate mind, to do those things ^gwhich are not convenient; ²⁹Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, ^hiwickedness, ^hcovetousness, ^ijkmaliciousness; full of ^kenvy, murder, debate, deceit, ^lmalignity; ^mwhisperers, ^30mBackbiters, ⁿhaters of God, ^odespiteful, ^hpproud, ^pboasters, ^qinventors of evil things, ^pdisobedient to parents, ^31rWithout understanding, covenantbreakers, ^||swithout natural affection, ^simplacable, unmerciful: ³²Who knowing ^tthe judgment of God, that they which commit such things ^uare worthy of death, not only do the same, but ^||xhave pleasure in them that do them.
