26. 26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural,

    26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

    27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct.

    28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
