Amen. 26 For this reason, God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature. 27 In 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. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, unloving, unforgiving, and unmerciful. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things but also approve of those who practice them.
