22 Though claiming to be wise, they became fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that looked like mortal human beings, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.
24 For this reason, God gave them over to impurity to follow the lusts of their hearts and to dishonor their bodies with one another.
25 They exchanged God's truth for a lie and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason, God gave them over to degrading passions. Even their females exchanged their natural sexual function for one that is unnatural.
27 In the same way, their males also abandoned the natural sexual function of females and burned with lust for one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received in themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion.
