Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of the own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves,

For this reason God gave them up to passions of dishonor; for even their females exchanged the natural use for that which is contrary to nature,

Therefore put to death your members on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

"For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

For all these things the nations of the world seek after, but your Father knows that you need these things.

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

who, having become callous, gave themselves over to debauchery, for the working of uncleanness with utmost greediness.

For we have spent enough of our past lifetime to accomplish the will of the Gentiles--having walked in wantonness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

for as I passed by and considered the objects of your worship, I found also an altar on which it had been inscribed: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, [Him] whom being ignorant of you worship, this [One] I announce to you:

So then these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all men everywhere to repent,

because He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He appointed, having given proof to all, by raising Him from the dead."

And just as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do the things which are not fitting;

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, God was well pleased, through the foolishness of our preaching, to save those that believe.

Awake to righteousness, and do not sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

But at one time indeed, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature were not gods.

that at that time you were apart from Christ, being estranged from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope and atheists in the world.

in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
