Unbelief and Its Consequences

18For athe wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who bsuppress the truth ▼
▼ Or by
in unrighteousness, 19because dthat which is known about God is evident ▼
▼ Or among
within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For fsince the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, gbeing understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21For even though they knew God, they did not ▼
▼ Lit glorify
honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became ifutile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 jProfessing to be wise, they became fools, 23and kexchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and ▼
▼ Or reptiles
crawling creatures.

24Therefore mGod gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be ndishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for ▼
▼ Lit the lie
a plie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, qwho is blessed ▼
▼ Lit unto the ages
forever. Amen.

26For this reason sGod gave them over to tdegrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is ▼
▼ Lit against nature
unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, vmen with men committing ▼
▼ Lit the shameless deed
indecent acts and receiving in ▼
▼ Lit themselves
their own persons the due penalty of their error.

28And just as they did not see fit ▼
▼ Lit to have God in knowledge
to acknowledge God any longer, zGod gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are aagossips, 30slanderers, ▼
▼ Or hateful to God
 , achaters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, addisobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, aeunloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of afdeath, they not only do the same, but also aggive hearty approval to those who practice them.
