Romans 1:21-24 for, though they knew God, they have not honored him as God or given thanks to him, but they have indulged in futile speculations, until their stupid minds have become dark.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ for, though they knew God, they have not honored him as God or given thanks to him, but they have indulged in futile speculations, until their stupid minds have become dark. ²² They called themselves wise, but they have turned into fools, ²³ and for the splendor of the immortal God they have substituted images in the form of mortal man, birds, animals, and reptiles. ²⁴ So God abandoned them, with their heart's cravings, to impurity, and let them degrade their own bodies.
