^{22 Ref} Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

^{23 Ref} And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

^{24 Ref} Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

^{25 Ref} Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

^{26 Ref} For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

^{27 Ref} And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

^{28 Ref} And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

^{22 Ref} Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

^{23 Ref} and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

^{24 Ref} Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,

^{25 Ref} who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

^{26 Ref} For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

^{27 Ref} Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

^{28 Ref} Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

^{22 Ref} professing to be wise, they were made fools,

^{23 Ref} and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.

^{24 Ref} Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

^{25 Ref} who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen.

^{26 Ref} Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature;

^{27 Ref} and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.

^{28 Ref} And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;
