and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,”

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.
