 24Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness so that their bodies were dishonoured among them;
 25which exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, and served and reverenced the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed forever, Amen.
 26On this account God gave them up to vile passions; for both their females exchanged the natural use into the unnatural,
 27and likewise the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males working out unseemliness, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was meet.
 28And even as they disapproved to have God in acknowledgment, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind to do improper things;
 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, ill-will; whisperers,
 30slanderers, God-hated, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
