    24Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.

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

    26For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,

    27and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

    28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.

    29They are filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips,

    30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents,

    31senseless, covenant-breakers, heartless, ruthless.
