²¹ because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but ^(A)became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. ^22 (B)Professing to be wise, they became fools, ²³ and changed the glory of the ^(C)incorruptible ^(D)God into an image made like ^[a]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

^24 (E)Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, ^(F)to dishonor their bodies ^(G)among themselves, ²⁵ who exchanged ^(H)the truth of God ^(I)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 ^(J)vile passions. For even their ^[b]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
