22 Jer. 10:14; (1 Cor. 1:20)Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the 1 Tim. 1:17; 6:15, 16incorruptible Deut. 4:16–18; Ps. 106:20; Jer. 2:11; Acts 17:29God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Ps. 81:12; Acts 7:42; Eph. 4:18, 19Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, 1 Cor. 6:18to dishonor their bodies Lev. 18:22among themselves, 25 who exchanged 1 Thess. 1:9the truth of God Is. 44:20; Jer. 10:14; 13:25; 16:19for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to Lev. 18:22; Eph. 5:12vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
