From Idolatry to Depravity

26 For this reason God delivered them over to disgraceful passions.(A) Their women[a] exchanged natural sexual relations[b] for unnatural ones. 27 The men[c] in the same way also left natural relations with women and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men(B) and received in their own persons[d] the appropriate penalty of their error.

28 And because they did not think it worth while to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right. 29 They are filled with all unrighteousness,[e] evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,(C) 30 slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful,(D) inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,(E) 31 senseless, untrustworthy, unloving,[f](F) and unmerciful.
