Romans 1:24-28
New International Version
24 Therefore God gave them over(A) in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.(B) 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie,(C) and worshiped and served created things(D) rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.(E) Amen.(F)
26 Because of this, God gave them over(G) to shameful lusts.(H) Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.(I) 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.(J)
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over(K) to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
Romans 1:24-28
King James Version
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
