Romanos 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.

24 Por isso Deus os entregou, nas concupiscências de seus corações, � imundícia, para serem os seus corpos desonrados entre si;
25 pois trocaram a verdade de Deus pela mentira, e adoraram e serviram � criatura antes que ao Criador, que é bendito eternamente. Amém.
26 Pelo que Deus os entregou a paixões infames. Porque até as suas mulheres mudaram o uso natural no que é contrário � natureza;
