Romans 1:18-28

God's hostility is revealed from heaven against those who are godless and who are not morally right, those who suppress the truth through the evil that they do. What can be known about God is obvious, because he has made it very clear to them. Ever since the creation of the world, the invisible aspects of God—his eternal power and divinity—are clearly visible in what he has made. Such people have no excuse, because even though they knew God, they did not praise him or thank him, but instead their thinking about God turned into complete foolishness, and darkness filled their empty minds. Even though they claimed to be wise, they became foolish. They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for idols, images of mortal human beings, birds, animals, and reptiles. So God abandoned them to the evil desires of their depraved minds, and they did shameful, degrading things to each other. They exchanged God's truth for a lie, worshiping and serving creatures instead of the Creator, who deserves praise forever. Amen. That's why God abandoned them to their evil desires. Their women exchanged natural sex for that which is unnatural, and in the same way the men gave up sex with women and burned with lust for each other. Men did indecent things to each other, and as a result they suffered the inevitable consequences of their perversions. Since they didn't consider it worthwhile to get to know God, he abandoned them to their worthless, distrustful way of thinking, doing things that should never be done.
