Romans 1:21-25

Christian Standard Bible

²¹ For though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became worthless, and their senseless hearts were darkened.^{(A) 22} Claiming to be wise, they became fools^{(B) 23} and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.^(C)

²⁴ Therefore God delivered them over in the desires of their hearts^(D) to sexual impurity, so that their bodies were degraded among themselves. ²⁵ They exchanged the truth of God for a lie,^(E) and worshiped and served what has been created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever.^(F) Amen.
