Romans 1:21-27

New American Standard Bible

²¹ For even though they knew God, they did not ^[a]honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became ^(A)futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened. ^22 (B)Claiming to be wise, they became fools, ²³ and they ^(C)exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and ^[b]crawling creatures.

²⁴ Therefore ^(D)God gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be ^(E)dishonored among them. ²⁵ For they exchanged the truth of God for ^[c](F)falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, ^(G)who is blessed ^[d]forever. Amen.

²⁶ For this reason ^(H)God gave them over to ^(I)degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, ²⁷ and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations ^[e]with women and burned in their desire toward one another, ^(J)males with males committing ^[f]shameful acts and receiving in ^[g]their own persons the due penalty of their error.
