Romans 1:25-27
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
They Turned From The Truth To Worship The Creation Rather Than The Creator
25 Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie[a], and worshiped and served the creation[b] rather than the One having created— Who is blessed forever, amen. 26 For this reason God handed them over to passions of [c] dishonor. For both their females exchanged the natural [sexual] function for the one contrary to nature, 27 and likewise also the males, having left the natural [sexual] function of the female, were inflamed by their craving for one another— males with males committing the indecent-act[d] and receiving-back in themselves the return[e] which was due their error[f].
