22Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23and exchanged for themselves the glory of the incorruptible God for an image resembling a perishable man—even birds and quadrupeds and reptiles!
24Therefore God also gave them up, through the cravings of their hearts for vileness, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves
25—they had exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions; in fact even their females exchanged the natural sexual function for that against nature;
27likewise also the males, abandoning the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust toward one another, males committing the disgraceful act with males, and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
