Romans 1:24-28
New Living Translation
24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.

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.

“Today when you hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled.”[a]
