Romans 1:24-32
New King James Version
24 (A)Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, (B)to dishonor their bodies (C)among themselves, 25 who exchanged (D)the truth of God (E)for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to (F)vile passions. For even their [a]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the [b]men, leaving the natural use of the [c]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things (G)which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [d]sexual immorality, wickedness, [e]covetousness, [f]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [g]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [h]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, (H)knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things (I)are deserving of death, not only do the same but also (J)approve of those who practice them.

Galatians 1:6-12
New King James Version
Only One Gospel
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon (A)from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 (B)which is not another; but there are some (C)who trouble you and want to (D)pervert[a] the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if (E)we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be [b]accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you (F)than what you have received, let him be accursed.
10 For (G)do I now (H)persuade men, or God? Or (I)do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Call to Apostleship(J)
11 (K)But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For (L)I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came (M)through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
