They are gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, proud, boastful, inventors of evil things, and disobedient toward parents, ³¹ without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, calloused, and unmerciful, ³² who know the righteous requirement of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death. They not only do them, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
