Romans 1:24

22 ^aProfessing to be wise, they became fools,

23 and changed the glory of the ^aincorruptible ^bGod into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 ^aTherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, ^bto dishonor their bodies ^camong themselves,

25 who exchanged ^athe truth of God ^bfor the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to ^avile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

Romans 1:24

God - gave them up, etc. - They had filled up the measure of their iniquities, and God, by permitting them to plunge into all manner of irregularities, thus, by one species of sin, inflicted punishment on another.

Dishonour their own bodies - Probably alluding here to what is more openly expressed, Romans 1:26, Romans 1:27.

Between themselves - , Of themselves, of their own free accord; none inciting, none impelling.
