Romanos 1:26 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:26

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections
Because of their idolatrous practices, God left them to very dishonourable actions, sodomitical ones, both among the men and women:

for even the women did change the natural use into that which is
against nature;
either by prostituting themselves to, and complying with the "sodomitical" embraces of men, in a way that is against nature F8; or by making use of such ways and methods with themselves, or other women, to gratify their lusts, which were never designed by nature for such an use: of these vicious women, and their practices, Seneca F9 speaks, when he says,

``libidine veto nec maribus quidem cedunt, pati natae; Dii illas Deoeque, male perdant; adeo perversum commentae, genus impudicitiae, viros ineunt:''

also Clemens Alexandrinus F11 has respect to such, saying,

``(gunaikev andrizontai para fusin, gamou men ai te kai) (gamousai gunaikev) ''

and such there were among the Jews, whom they call (wzb wz twllwomx) (Myvn) F12, and whom the priests were forbidden to marry.

Romanos 1:26 In-Context

24 Por consiguiente, Dios los entreg贸 a la impureza en la lujuria de sus corazones, de modo que deshonraron entre s铆 sus propios cuerpos;
25 porque cambiaron la verdad de Dios por la mentira, y adoraron y sirvieron a la criatura en lugar del Creador, que es bendito por los siglos. Am茅n.
26 Por esta raz贸n Dios los entreg贸 a pasiones degradantes; porque sus mujeres cambiaron la funci贸n natural por la que es contra la naturaleza;
27 y de la misma manera tambi茅n los hombres, abandonando el uso natural de la mujer, se encendieron en su lujuria unos con otros, cometiendo hechos vergonzosos hombres con hombres, y recibiendo en s铆 mismos el castigo correspondiente a su extrav铆o.
28 Y as铆 como ellos no tuvieron a bien reconocer a Dios, Dios los entreg贸 a una mente depravada, para que hicieran las cosas que no convienen;
