22 Boasting of being wise, they became fools

23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into images of mortal man, and of birds and beasts and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over, in the lusts of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonor their bodies mutually.

25 They changed the truth of God into a lie, and reverenced and paid worship to the creature rather than to the Creator \'97 who is blessed forever, Amen!

26 Therefore God gave them over to disgraceful passions. For their females changed the natural use for one contrary to nature,

27 and their males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust for one another, males with males practicing indecency and receiving in themselves the deserved penalty of their error.
