Romans 1:24-31
1599 Geneva Bible
24 [a]Wherefore [b]also God [c]gave them up to their hearts lusts, unto uncleanness, to defile their own bodies between themselves:
25 Which turned the truth of God unto a lie, and worshipped and served the creature, forsaking the Creator which is blessed forever, Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.
27 And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves such [d]recompense of their error, as was meet.
28 [e]For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, even so God delivered them up unto a [f]reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient,
29 Being full of all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the evil part, whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, [g]covenant breakers, without natural affection, such as can never be appeased, merciless.
31 Which men, though they knew the [h]Law of God, how that they which commit such things are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also [i]favor them that do them.
