Romans 1:23-25
New American Standard Bible
23 and they (A)exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and [a]crawling creatures.
24 Therefore (B)God gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be (C)dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for [b](D)falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, (E)who is blessed [c]forever. Amen.
