²⁸ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things ^(A)which are not fitting;

¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception among ^(A)those who perish, because they did not receive ^(B)the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And ^(C)for this reason God will send them strong delusion, ^(D)that they should believe the lie, ¹² that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but ^(E)had pleasure in unrighteousness.

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.

¹⁶ They profess to ^(A)know God, but ^(B)in works they deny Him, being ^[a]abominable, disobedient, ^(C)and disqualified for every good work.

^24 (A)Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, ^(B)to dishonor their bodies ^(C)among themselves,

^8 (A)Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: ^(B)men of corrupt minds, ^(C)disapproved concerning the faith;

⁷ Because ^(A)the ^[a]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, ^(B)nor indeed can be. ⁸ So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
