    18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness.

    19For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

    20For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

    21For although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

    22Claiming to be wise, they became fools.

    23And they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, animals, and creeping things.

    24Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.

    25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is forever praised. Amen.

    26For this reason, God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature.

    27In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
