23. They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image in the form of mortal man and birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.
24. Therefore God gave them over in the evil desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies with one another.
25. They traded the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26. For this reason God gave them up to shameful passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for what is against nature.
27. Likewise the men abandoned natural relations with women and were burning with passion toward one another—men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28. And just as they did not see fit to recognize God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what is not fitting.
29. They became filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice. They are gossips,
30. slanderers, God-haters, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents.
