‏ Romans 1:21-25

21 For even though they knew God, they did not ^{▼▼Lit glorify}honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became ^bfutile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened. 22 ^cClaiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and they ^dexchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and ^{▼▼Or reptiles}crawling creatures.

24 Therefore ^fGod gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be ^gdishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for ^{▼▼Lit the lie} ⁱfalsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, ^jwho is blessed ^{▼▼Lit unto the ages}forever. Amen.
