Unbelief and Its Consequences

¹⁸ For ^(A)the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who ^(B)suppress the truth ^[a]in unrighteousness,

²⁴ Therefore ^(A)God gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be ^(B)dishonored among them.

²⁶ For this reason ^(A)God gave them over to ^(B)degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature,

²⁸ And just as they did not see fit ^[a]to acknowledge God, ^(A)God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper, ²⁹ people having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice; they are ^(B)gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, ^[b](C)haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, ^(D)disobedient to parents, ³¹ without understanding, untrustworthy, ^(E)unfeeling, and unmerciful; ³² and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of ^(F)death, they not only do the same, but also ^(G)approve of those who practice them.
