Romans 1:22
Compare all
20 For since the creation of the world aHis invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and1 Godhead, so that they are without excuse,  
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but abecame futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.  
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.
