Romans 1:20-29

New King James Version

²⁰ For since the creation of the world ^(A)His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and ^[a]Godhead, so that they are without excuse, ²¹ because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but ^(B)became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. ^22 (C)Professing to be wise, they became fools, ²³ and changed the glory of the ^(D)incorruptible ^(E)God into an image made like ^[b]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

²⁶ For this reason God gave them up to ^(K)vile passions. For even their ^[c]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. ²⁷ Likewise also the ^[d]men, leaving the natural use of the ^[e]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.

²⁸ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things ^(L)which are not fitting; ²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, ^[f]sexual immorality, wickedness, ^[g]covetousness, ^[h]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
