1:21 For although they
knew God, they did
not glorify him
as God or give him
thanks,
but they became
futile in their thoughts,
and their senseless hearts were
darkened.
22 Although they
claimed to
be wise, they became
fools 23 and exchanged the
glory of the
immortal God for an
image resembling mortal human beings or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
