Romans 1:28-32
Wycliffe Bible
28 And as they proved that they had not God in knowing [And as they proved not to have God in knowing], God betook them into a reprovable wit, that they do those things that be not suitable;
29 that they be full-filled with all wickedness [full-filled with all wickedness], malice, fornication, covetousness, waywardness, full of envy, manslayings [manslaying], strife, guile, evil will,
30 privy backbiters, detractors, hateful to God, debaters, proud, and high over measure [hateful to God, wrongful despisers, proud, high over measure], finders of evil things, not obedient to father and mother,
31 unwise, unmannerly, without love [without affection, or love], without bond of peace, without mercy.
32 The which when they had known the rightwiseness of God, understood not, that they that do such things be worthy the death, not only they that do those things [not only they that do such things], but also they that consent to the doers.

New Matthew Bible
28 And as it did not seem good to them to acknowledge God, so God delivered them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which were not right, 29 being full of all unrighteous doing: of fornication, wickedness, covetousness, vice; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit; evil-natured, whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to father and mother, 31 without understanding, covenant breakers, unloving, truce breakers, and merciless. 32 Which people, though they knew the righteousness of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also have pleasure in those who do them.

28 [a]For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, even so God delivered them up unto a [b]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, [c]covenant breakers, without natural affection, such as can never be appeased, merciless.
31 Which men, though they knew the [d]Law of God, how that they which commit such things are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also [e]favor them that do them.
