ROMANS 1 : 18—32. 31

chaiig'ed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the crea- ture more than the Creator, who is hlessed for ever. Amen, ^epo^ ^j^jg cause God gave them up unto vile affections : for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature : ^^and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their lust one towards another ; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet, ^sj^^,^^ even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; ^^being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness ; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity ; whisperers, ^^backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, ^^with- out understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implaca- ble, unmerciful : ^^who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
