24 Therefore God gave them over¹ in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.² 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie,³ and worshiped and served created things⁴ rather than the Creator--who is forever praised.⁵ Amen.⁶ 26 Because of this, God gave them over⁷ to shameful lusts.⁸ Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.⁹ 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.¹⁰ 28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over¹¹ to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
