Who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions.

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.
