Romans 1:18-32 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people
who suppress the truth by their
unrighteousness,
19 because what can be known about God is plain to them,
because God has made it plain to them.
20 For 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.
21 For 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.
22 Although they claimed
to be wise, they became fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings
or birds or four-footed animals
or reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over
in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor
their bodies among themselves.
25 They
exchanged the truth of God for a lie
and worshiped and served the creation
rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,
27 and 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.
28 And 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.
29 They are filled
with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with
envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 senseless, covenant-breakers,
heartless, ruthless.
32 Although 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.
