1:26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones, ¹  1:27 and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women ²  and were inflamed in their passions ³  for one another. Men ⁴  committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, ⁵  God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done. ⁶  1:29 They are filled ⁷  with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with ⁸  envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips, 1:30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents, 1:31 senseless, covenant-breakers, ⁹  heartless, ruthless.
