Romani 1:24 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:24

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness
Not by putting any into them, but by leaving them to the pollution of their nature; by withdrawing his providential restraints from them, and by giving them up to judicial hardness:

through the lusts of their own hearts.
The heart of man is the source of all wickedness; the lusts that dwell there are many, and these tend to uncleanness of one sort or another: by it here is meant particularly bodily uncleanness, since it is said they were given up

to dishonour their own bodies between themselves;
either alone, or with others; so that as they changed the glory of God, and dishonoured him, he left them to dishonour themselves by doing these things which were reproachful and scandalous to human nature.

Romani 1:24 In-Context

22 Dicendosi esser savi, son divenuti pazzi.
23 Ed hanno mutata la gloria dell’incorruttibile Iddio nella simiglianza dell’immagine dell’uomo corruttibile, e degli uccelli, e delle bestie a quattro piedi, e de’ rettili.
24 Perciò ancora Iddio li ha abbandonati a bruttura, nelle concupiscenze de’ lor cuori, da vituperare i corpi loro gli uni con gli altri.
25 Essi, che hanno mutata la verità di Dio in menzogna, ed hanno adorata e servita la creatura, lasciato il Creatore, che è benedetto in eterno. Amen.
26 Perciò, Iddio li ha abbandonati ad affetti infami; poichè anche le lor femmine hanno mutato l’uso naturale in quello che è contro a natura.
