Romans 1:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 1:25

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.

27 Likewise also the¹ men, leaving the natural use of the² woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things ^awhich are not fitting;

29 being filled with all unrighteousness,¹ sexual immorality, wickedness,² covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 ¹undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving,² unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 who, ^aknowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things ^bare deserving of death, not only do the same but also ^capprove of those who practice them.
