Romans 1:24-28
Therefore God delivered them over in the cravings of their hearts to sexual impurity, so that their bodies were degraded among themselves.They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen.This is why God delivered them over to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.The males in the same way also left natural relations with females and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Males committed shameless acts with males and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty of their error.And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong.
