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

    19because 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, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse.

    21For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened.

    22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

    23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles.

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

    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.

    32Although they fully know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.
