²⁶ Because of this, God gave them over to degrading passions, for their females exchanged the natural relations for those contrary to nature,

²⁸ And just as they did not see fit to recognize God^[a], God gave them over to a debased mind, to do the things that are not proper,

¹⁸ being darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,

¹⁹ who, becoming callous, gave themselves over to licentiousness, for the pursuit of all uncleanness in greediness.
