23. They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that look like mortal humans: birds, animals, and reptiles.
24. So God abandoned them to their hearts’ desires, which led to the moral corruption of degrading their own bodies with each other.
25. They traded God’s truth for a lie, and they worshipped and served the creation instead of the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26. That’s why God abandoned them to degrading lust. Their females traded natural sexual relations for unnatural sexual relations.
