Rom1..18 For the wrath of GOD is
revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who
suppress the truth in
unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known
of GOD is manifest in them,
for GOD has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of
the world His invisible
attributes are clearly
seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even
His eternal power and
GODhead, so that they are
without excuse,
21 because, although they
knew GOD, they did not
glorify Him as GOD,
nor were thankful, but became
futile in their thoughts, and
their foolish hearts were
darkened.
22 Professing to be wise,
they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of
the incorruptible GOD into an
image made like corruptible
man—and birds and four-footed
animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore GOD also gave
them up to uncleanness, in
the lusts of their hearts, to
dishonor their bodies among
themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of
GOD for the lie, and
worshiped and served the
creature rather than the
Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen.

26 For this reason GOD gave
them up to vile passions. For
even their women exchanged
the natural use for what is
against nature.
27 Likewise also the men,
leaving the natural use of
the woman, burned in their
lust for one another, men
with men committing what is
shameful, and receiving in
themselves the penalty of
their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not
like to retain GOD in
their knowledge, GOD
gave them over to a debased
mind, to do those things
which are not fitting;
29 being filled with all
unrighteousness, sexual
immorality, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, strife,
deceit, evil-mindedness;
they are whisperers,
30 backbiters, haters of GOD,
violent, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning,
untrustworthy, unloving,
unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the righteous
judgment of GOD, that those
who practice such things are
deserving of death, not only
do the same but also approve
of those who practice them.
