Romans 1:25-27
New English Translation

25 They[a] exchanged the truth of God for a lie[b] and worshiped and served the creation[c] rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,[d] 27 and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women[e] and were inflamed in their passions[f] for one another. Men[g] committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
