Romans 1:21-27

Legacy Standard Bible

²¹ For even though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or give thanks, but they became ^(A)futile in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened. ^22 (B)Professing to be wise, they became fools, ²³ and ^(C)exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the likeness of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

²⁴ Therefore ^(D)God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be ^(E)dishonored among them. ²⁵ For they exchanged the truth of God for ^[a]a ^(F)lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, ^(G)who is blessed ^[b]forever. Amen.

²⁶ For this reason ^(H)God gave them over to ^(I)dishonorable passions; for their ^(J)females exchanged the natural function for that which is ^[c]unnatural, ²⁷ and in the same way also the ^(K)males abandoned the natural function of the female and burned in their desire toward one another, ^(L)males with males committing ^[d]indecent acts and receiving in ^[e]their own persons the due penalty of their error.
